COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

[Wednesday] wasn't always the prettiest, but I did think that our effort was solid throughout the game, and we made enough plays to pull away a bit in the second half. I wasn't super happy with our off-ball defense in the first half, but we responded well coming out of halftime, forcing ten turnovers in the second half. Offensively, we were pretty good for the majority of the game, which has been par for the course for us lately.
