QUOTING THE COACH
"I thought we played well in three of the four quarters today," head coach Dan Davis said. "After playing five games in nine days, I think we have identified some things we need to improve in. We are not getting good looks offensively. We have to get the ball into the paint and get our shooters some open shots. We also have to get better on some things defensively, but we have a few days now that we can improve and I think this team is eager to get better."
 
UP NEXT
The Warhawks will return to action Sunday, Nov. 27, when they open the home portion of their schedule by hosting West Florida at 3 p.m.
