"We gave up 19 turnovers as well as 25 points and 38 points in the paint," said Bulldog head coach Murray Garvin. "You can beat to many people or compete with a team as talented as Winthrop turning the ball over."

"We had another long night shooting the ball as a team," said Garvin. "It's going to be a long process and we have to keep working at it and get better and limit our mistakes."

Sophomore forward Damani Applewhite finished with a double-double 11 points and 12 rebounds, while Jani Raynor-Powell added 11 points in the loss.  Freshman guard Rayshawn Neal showed a spark off the bench with eight points and four rebounds.
