What Coach Says:

Coach Westerlund said, "This is a new group, 80 percent of this group has only been practicing a week in our system and you could clearly see that in tonight's game. We have some growing to do as a team. Our defense is a big area of concern. We need to be much better on that end of the floor." Westerlund also said, "I liked the way we competed though. We competed and played hard our execution was just really poor. I thought Kain and Seamus were both really good tonight. I thought Mohamed was showed some good things offensively as well, but like I said for us its going to be the defensive end. We need to find our identity on that end of the floor."
