Barlow's Bits
"Despite the result today, this is the best we have looked as a team this season. Our energy and effort were there, but Oral Roberts played the big points better than us today. Overall, we are learning from these close matches and have some time to work on our weaknesses for a couple weeks before we get back into conference action." – Assistant Coach Matthew Barlow
