THOUGHTS FROM COACH DRABYN

  • “That was a tough loss against a good team that is going to win their share of games. They are well-coached and were prepared.”
  • “It’s been a tough two weeks for our team with guys out and not being able to practice much, but I’m glad we played the game and am proud of the effort our guys displayed. It is going to make us better.”
  • “I thought we were really good when we got it going in transition and when we got the ball in the paint. What cost us in my opinion were uncharacteristic turnovers and missed two’s that we normally make. I can’t wait to get back to practice and start preparing for the next one.”
