"There is a difference in getting outplayed, meaning the collective effort we gave, and getting overpowered," head coach
Craig Ward said. "To this point we have not been outplayed. I thought it was a great effort on our part and theirs. However, we were overpowered today. They are a very good team and our goal is to be able to beat teams at this level. If you don't play them you can't beat them."
The Tigers are back on the court February 28 against Harding.
