Coach's Comments
"They're a good team but there are some things we have to get better on as we approach conference. The way Miami shot the three-ball we have to adjust better to in-game situations when people get hot and making sure that we protect the three-point line. Our stats weren't that off, but when ou look at they hit 10 three-pointers, that's your game."
"We knew it was going to be a tough game but there's no hanging of heads here we have to get ready for a quick turnaround and get ready for Dillard because they have some good three-point shooters on their team."
Up Next
New Orleans returns to Lakefront Arena, Wednesday, Dec. 12 for an 11 a. m. contest against Dillard University.
