Head Coach, Dan Earl
Opening thoughts:
"Yeah, you know, I don't want to sound like downer, but the best thing about this game might be the film that we're able to break down after. Especially on how to take care of a lead, or play well down the stretch in the second half, that kind of thing. I'm proud of our guys for competing. I thought we definitely did that. You mentioned we had, 28 free throws, 24 of them went in, which is really good. And then we had 19 offensive rebounds. I'm super proud of our guys for that. And if we can win ugly, if you will, we'll take that, a win's a win."
On winning 'ugly':
"We were three for 16 from the three point line, and had eight assists and 15 turnovers. That's usually not Chattanooga basketball. But Elon's a good team. They've had some nice wins. They're super talented, they're tough to guard. I thought we made it at least difficult for them at times. But you know, anytime you can get a road win, we'll certainly take it."
