"I thought we came out a played really hard tonight," said UAPB head coach George Ivory. "We missed too many free throws when it counts. 

"We changed the lineup in the second half, and the guys came out and had a lot of energy to help us get back in the game. We've got Alabama St. coming in town Monday, so we'll get back to the lab and get ready for Monday."
