What Coach Says:
"Today felt like a national tournament level game. We fell short, but I thought today we were much better than we were Friday. Jordan does a tremendous job with MCC, and his guys compete very hard. We have to do a better job defending the basketball. We won't win many games giving up 90 points. We have to develop an identity defensively and get tougher. I believe this group has all the pieces. We have to continue to embrace the process of becoming a team and embrace these challenges." On Trent Temple, "Trent is the most dynamic player in the country he is so gifted getting downhill. He did an elite job this weekend. I was happy to see him recognized to the All Classic team."
What's Next:
The Crusaders will travel to Indiana Tech on Wednesday December 2nd to take on the Warriors.
