They Said It - Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"It's a disappointing loss but if you would have told me that we would lose two starters in
Beril Kabamba and
Eli Lenihan and only lose by 10, and really it was a lot of free throws down the stretch, I would have said you are crazy. Guys had to step up and in many ways they did.
Timothy Reilly had another good game and so did
Steven Lyles. It was great getting
Isaiah Veal back out there for a bit. If it is true that adversity creates character - we are going to be full of character, because we are facing it now. We will look ahead and prepare for a good LeMoyne-Owen team coming here on Monday."
Up Next
The Badgers will return home to host SIAC divisional opponent Lane on Saturday night.
