COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

A disappointing one. You need to be really good to win on the road against good teams, and there were a couple of areas that we knew we needed to be good in, had it in our power to be better in, but just didn't get it done. It's frustrating, but we need to move on quickly - we still control our own destiny in the conference race.
