QUOTABLE
    
"From our perspective, I have to continue to evaluate things in the sense that, are we making improvements from the last time out? The answer to that was absolutely yes. We challenged our guys at halftime and they came out and responded in the second half." - Head Coach Brian Barnett said after the Bowling Green match.
