Postgame Quotes
Â
Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening thoughts after 78-62 loss to ETSU.
"We missed shots, and it allowed it to affect our defense and they got the confidence going. Jordan King had a unbelievable game and credit to him. We tried to trap him and do different things, he's a really good player. It was certainly and particularly a tough and very difficult second half. We'll stick together and figure out how to get better."
Â
On sticking together.
"We have to do that. There's no other way then to have them recognize that feeling they have right now for them to play with more focus, passion, effort, the way we did in the first half. We can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect different results. We have stick together and push the ball, play fast, and have more defensive intent for all 40 minutes."

On the status of Jake Stephens.
"I hurt for him. He obviously hurt his hand as you saw. He'll be back out for an extended period of time. We're still getting things looked at and everything. It's just hard. My heart hurts for him because he's such a good kid. He came with us and gave up a lot of other opportunities to do that. He wanted to come here and accomplish really big things. It's just hard for us and certainly Jake. We'll have to move forward."
