Coach Cory's comments on the game were "Turnovers and execution cost us the game tonight. Texas College wanted the win more and it showed because they out worked us on both ends of the floor. I have to do a better job of coaching them up and keeping them focused if we want to be successful. We will get better and I'll keep busting my tail until we turn the corner".
