HEAD COACH REGGIE THEUS

"We won the first half, but it's a 40 minute game against a disciplined team. We missed shots early in the second half that hurt us and gave up a lot of backdoor lay-ups in the second half. They stuck with their stuff and wore us down."

"Points in the paint were great, bench points, fast break points, I thought we played a good basketball game. Sometimes you can't put a finger on why a team comes back, but missing shots always comes back to defense."

NEXT UP: B-CU will face Liberty at the Ocean Center Tuesday at 6 p.m.
