COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS

We didn't play very good basketball [on Saturday]. Give a lot of credit to Transylvania, they are a great team. We had trouble with their length and athleticism, which led to way too many turnovers. We knew it was going to be a battle and just didn't bring our best. We'll get back after it next week and be ready to roll on Senior Night.
