Straight from the Court
"That was a Green Bay butt-kicking, plain and simple. I thought if you judged the game based on loose balls, second efforts, ability to bounce back after a play doesn't go your way, Green Bay owned the game. I know our team is able to compete better than that. Also, you should never go 0-for-16 from the three-point line. Even if you're a three-point shooting team, you have to find another way to score the basketball. But you have to credit Green Bay. You have to credit them on how they forced us to take shots. They had good ball pressure, they were very physical."- Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis
Turning Point
Green Bay went on a 22-7 run in the last 7:33 of the third quarter that sealed the fate of the Badgers Wednesday night. The Phoenix outscored Wisconsin 28-11 in the period, including 11 points from Hibner.Up Next
