Thoughts from Head Coach Ritchie McKay

"I was a little disappointed in how much we turned the ball over in the first half and when you turn it over, it leads to easy baskets for the other team but I think our guys did a good job of reeling it in. We showed a little bit of maturity to anchor down defensively and do a better job in the second half."
