The comment WolfPack head coach Goran Nogic made after the contest was, "We lost because we didn't' stop their inside game and they played with more intensity and more of a 'will to win'. Some of our players are still not ready to play two games in a row and others don't understand what it means to be part of a team. Hopefully they will grasp that concept very soon."
