COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

• I am pleased with our team's effort [on Wednesday].
• Manchester is a really talented offensive team, with shooters all over the court, and they made some really difficult ones [on Wednesday]. Still, I thought our effort and energy on defense stayed solid throughout the game.
• Offensively, we played an airtight game, and I was pleased with the looks that we got throughout the game.
• We had great support from our students and hope for the same when we play Rose-Hulman on Saturday.
