COACH ADEDUNTAN'S COMMENTS
"Very slow start. Conversations, reps, film, and we needed a bounce back and we are waiting too long to get our bounce back. A lot of positivity that you can take out of it again. Just with their willingness to be challenged so I appreciate that with this team. We have to figure it out, we have to figure out how to start the game better and follow our game plan when the game starts or we are going to keep having the same results. This is a team that doesn't want a result like this. We are going to figure it out, just turn the page and try to get better."
