COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

No complaints here. I thought we were mature about the way we approached the game, and went out and handled our business. We got good contributions up and down the roster. A special shout-out to Tate Ivanyo for scoring his 1,000th career point tonight - Tate is a truly special player and person - he will go down as one of the best to ever wear orange and black when his career reaches its end.
