Post-Game Quote Head Coach Chris Green

Thoughts on game “I thought we played an average game, there's much more room for improvement and with some of our top guys out of the lineup we faced a little bit of adversity that we weren't ready for.  The bottom line is good teams always find a way to win and that's what we did.”
