SLU scored 13 of its 18 second-chance points in the second half and had a 45-34 advantage on the boards.

"Tonight we were out muscled by SLU." said Skidmore coach Darren Bennett. "They flexed and we didn't flex back. When good teams like SLU flex on you in your house you have to flex back and keep flexing, play with a chip on your shoulder and we didn't do that as a team. SLU really did us in on the boards. Defending the three, stopping drives middle and ball toughness were our three game goals. We did a good job on the three ball and defended off the bounce pretty good but we did not step up on the boards as a team and that's tough to swallow.

"We continue to do some good things but tonight I really feel like we didn't give total concentration to working hard in all areas. Our kids work hard we tell them they do. But tonight we didn't and we have to get better at that and get back on track in the tough, blue collar, lunch box kind of way."

Skidmore is home again on Friday at 6 p.m. vs. Bard.
