COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS
I didn't think that we started off this game with the right kind of energy, and we found ourselves down by 11 pretty much immediately. But, I give the guys a lot of credit, they bounced back immediately and we played pretty well the entire rest of the way. We did a good job of forcing turnovers, which jump started our offense, particularly in the second half.
