COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
This is always the toughest part of any season. I thought we had a great gameplan going into the game. We did a great job of executing in the first half. But, Transylvania is a championship-caliber team. They made some good adjustments and we struggled down the stretch to hit some shots. I'm super proud of this group and all of the hard work they have put in this year. We accomplished a lot of our goals. It's always sad to lose a great group of seniors and I can't say enough good things about them. They have certainly left a huge impact on this program. Next season starts [on Saturday] I can't wait to get back after it with our returners!
