COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We really played a complete game against Buffalo. We hit some huge free throws down the stretch, we are trying to grow up on the job. And we just don’t close out the victory. We had an eight point lead with just a couple of minutes left. They took advantage of a couple mistakes we made and hit a couple of tough three pointers and got the win.”
“… No place like home, we love playing here and I want to thank the fans for coming out. Give Man credit they didn’t quit and the game was lopsided and we have been on a few of those. We had a tough one on Tuesday and our girls bounced back and got the win tonight. I thought we grew some during the Tug Valley game. We really battled and gained some valuable experience..”
