Coach
Joe Burke: "No excuses today, it wouldn't have mattered who we had on the court. As a group, we did not bring that competitive spirit that you need on the road. We didn't have enough of it against Hartwick and got away with it, tonight we did not, and they took advantage of it. I will take the blame as we were not prepared the way we should have been. We will learn for it and turn the page quickly. We look forward to Tuesday back at home."Â
