COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

• Just another typical game of the sport that we all love: college basketball!
• Obviously, we started the game playing extremely well, but somewhere late in the first half or the beginning of the second half, we lost our mojo.
• We'll check the film to see if it was caused by something schematically, but I just felt that our energy was too low during that time period.
• Some of our vets turned things around in the middle of the second half, and we were able to hold on down the stretch.
• There will be learning moments for us to take, but ultimately, winning college basketball games is extremely hard, and we were able to get it done tonight.
