QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH JIM CROWLEY
"Loyola's physicality impacted everything we wanted to do. We had a chance to build something a little more comfortable in the first quarter and we did not take advantage. They did a good job of imposing their will in the second quarter and into the third."

"Our whole gameplan was to take away the paint and get some scores in the paint. They did a good job of getting into the paint and we did not force them out high enough."

UP NEXT
The Bonnies head back out on the road following the Thanksgiving holiday to take on Buffalo Saturday, Nov. 30. Tipoff is slated for 2:00 p.m. at Alumni Arena.
