What Head Coach JD Gustin Said: "We missed a lot of wide open three pointers today. Our shots weren't falling and that's when we have to get touches in the paint to work. We did a much better job of getting paint touches to succeed today to make up for those outside shot misses. Games like today are great opportunities for us to work on little things and fine tune them as we go into WAC play after the break. "
