NOTES AND QUOTES
 
"I was super excited the way our kids played for 32 minutes of that game, and then I thought that William & Mary did a good job executing down the stretch. When we tried to do too many individual things down the stretch, that's how the game got away from us but all of it's a learning experience. We're going to give William & Mary all the credit, our kids played better today we just fell a little short." – Head Coach King Rice
