Last year one of our problems was we'd win a game and show up and play terrible the next game. Tonight I thought our defense was excellent holding them down and the shooting (46 percent) got back to where it needed to be.

I was proud of the way we met physicality with physicality tonight. Karl Hollingsworth was fantastic and needs to play like that every time. Lipscomb is playing extremely well right now and we were just a couple of plays away from winning this game.

I'm at a complete loss. When we play hard and play with some passion we're pretty good. I'm truly at a loss how to motivate us to do that.

Give Savannah State a lot of credit. With their record, they could have easily mailed it in but they didn't. They came out with a great game plan and really controlled the tempo.

They made a nice adjustment on us. Trapped us a little bit, speeded us up.

If you leave them open, and they're on, they're really gonna burn you. They end up making 11 threes out of 24 attempts. It's hard to beat 'em when they do that.
