SAY WHAT...
"This league has good teams that make it hard to win on the road. Give all the credit to Stetson because they came out in the second half and punched us in the mouth and we just didn't respond. I'm not sure why and I don't understand it. I should have done a better job making defensive changes or playing different guys so that's on me. However, Stetson just seem to want it more and played with more energy and their guys made plays and shots especially in the second half. We have to take a hard look at ourselves and  figure some things out and get ready to play again on Monday night." -- Head coach Matthew Driscoll
