// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"We had a good opponent not at their best today and we failed to take advantage of it which is very disappointing," stated head coach Eric Toth. "Against good teams you have to play to win right from the start and we were just too timid at too many stages today. We have many more quality opponents like Louisville on the schedule and we're going to have to be much better to finish our regular season strong and head into the conference tournament in a couple of weeks."
