Coach Joe Bickings said, "I didn't feel like we came out ready to play mentally at all. It didn't help us at all that we missed a lot of shots early on and didn't guard very well. We have had two bad games in a row now when we should be starting to play our best basketball. Hopefully, this game was a good reality check for our team."
They were 3-10 from the line and fell to 10-2.

Coach Joe Shoemaker said, "We played a very good team on their home floor which is a tough place to win at. We persevered through some foul trouble and were able to pick up a quality win in overtime. We had several "big time" plays from different players in different parts of the game and everyone will remember those at the end of the game but in this close of a game, every play counts. I want to give a shout out to the bench even those who didn't get a lot of minutes for having a great practice in preparation for this game. Without them and their efforts in practice, we wouldn't have picked up this win. A total team effort. Now the challenge is to come out mentally ready to play vs Chaffee."
