COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS
Hats off to DePauw on a well-played game. I thought about 35 minutes of the game were pretty evenly played, back and forth, but there was a stretch midway through the second half where they clearly got the better of things, and that was enough to be the difference. They were the more consistent team over 40 minutes and they deserve the win because of it. We'll work on figuring out what went wrong during that stretch and throughout the game as a whole, and we'll come back better for two tough games this weekend.
