Rebounding was our achilles heel this game again. So many second chance points were given up. We shot a better percentage but when we are out shot by 18 shots that was costly. We took good shots, and we made some big shots. We ended with a season low 10 turnovers and did a much better job tonight than we did last night where we had nearly 20 turnovers in the half court. We are making steps in the right direction and just need to keep building on that.”
