Coach Howard-Carpenter ...
On the team’s performance…
“We did not do anything we talked about at halftime. We didn’t make the adjustments in our zone that we needed to make, and we did not rebound. We got outrebound at 33-54. We were just really sluggish in the second half. Our transition defense wasn’t there as well. We turned it over 22 times, but they also turned it over 19. We just didn’t capitalize on their turnovers.”

On the two-day delay of the game and its effect on the team’s performance…
“I mean, we had an extra day of practice, and it was a little bit earlier game than normal, but it shouldn’t have affected us at all. There’s no school today—nothing to do but play basketball.”

On moving on to this coming week…
“It’s a short week. We practice tomorrow and Wednesday morning, and then we hit the road, so we have to learn from this one and move on. We don’t have time to dwell on it, but we have to get better. We have to be able to make those adjustments in the game especially when we talk about it at halftime.”
