Coach Bubba Smith's Thoughts:

"Tonight did not end the way we wanted it to. I am proud of this group for turning our season around and getting back in the tournament. After the start we had in GSC play this team could have folded but they chose to fight and turn it around and give themselves a chance. There will be a lot of growth that we will have out of this season. I am proud of our seniors for how they led especially when things were hard. Those seniors will be remembered for holding this team together. I am thankful I had the opportunity to coach and mentor then. They are great young men who are going to be successful in whatever they choose to do."
