"That's a tough trip and with the physicality of a talented and aggressive team waiting for us, it's just a tough task.  We did have several possessions through the game on offense where we found open looks like we have done time and time again this season.  Being able to secure the ball and not have the live ball turnovers is something that has haunted us this season. We just need to keep working and focus on that part of our offensive game. Our big game now is at home on Saturday against Northwest Tech, we work to secure a spot in the Region VI tournament.
