SAY WHAT...
"It is a disappointment to me for us to lose three straight games. But their is still a lot of season to go and we fortunately play our next three games at home and still control our own outcome. We have got to figure out some ways to get back into our flow on both ends of the floor. I felt good when we battled back and the score was 54-50, but give Christian Terrell credit for hitting a big three that seemed to get them going. We have to continue to fight and battle because anybody can win this league and you have to come ready to play every night." -- Head coach Matthew Driscoll

NEXT UP
- The Ospreys tip off a three-game home stand in ASUN play hosting in-state foe Stetson on Saturday at 7 p.m.
