Coach's Corner
"This game is a tough pill to swallow. I thought we had a great game plan and we executed it for about 30 minutes. We built a 16 point lead, and we struggled to match Wilson's second unit's intensity and they flipped the game. We now need some help to make playoffs, but it starts with a win on Saturday." - Head coach Sean Westerlund.
