Coach Gee On The Season-Opening Loss
"It was frustrating from the standpoint that we just couldn't score the ball. I thought we played well enough in the first half to be closer, but when you don't score against a team of that magnitude, you're going to struggle. What I love about basketball is that you do not have to wait seven days to play again. We'll go back at it in practice and get a game plan ready to compete, and find a way to get some things done in Texas."
