FLASH QUOTES
"I thought the first 20 minutes we played their style of basketball and built us too deep of a hole. We came back and battled and cut it to 10 points. We did that by executing the game plan, getting some better offensive shots and rebounds. We challenge this group to play for each other offensively and playing for each other defensively. For the first 20 minutes we were not playing with each other. We have got to find ways to clean up things that will make us better in the long run." - head coach Rob Krimmel on Cornell game

"On the road, you can't let a team play their style and you can't let them get comfortable with what they do really well. The group we have together, players and coaches, have to understand what it takes to win on the road and the challenges that you face for 40 minutes on the road." – Krimmel on what it takes to win on the road
