COACH FORAKER SAYS…

• “That’s as good as I’ve seen anyone shoot in a long time. We were playing as hard of defense as we could. You have to give them credit as they played very, very well. I congratulate them on the way they played. We were cold. We got off early and could not buy a basket or a 3. It was just one of those nights.”
