What they said

BRUSH COACH CHET MASON »

“It’s tough to win at St. Ed’s — you have to play perfect basketball. We got outrebounded, and that hurt the team tonight. We have to be able to put bodies on people. But overall the team didn’t give up, and I’m proud of them.” ST. EDWARD COACH ERIC FLANNERY » “I wasn’t concerned what happened in the first three minutes of the game. Energy and effort were there tonight and we were able to make our shots,

rebounded pretty well and we came with that, especially slowing Brush down after the first half.”
