THEY SAID IT

Assistant coach Ken Schneider: "We struggled for the better part of the night, to be honest. We don't want to come off negative here. We're going to get back to work on Monday and start trying to figure some things out...Three games in four nights, you could tell it was wearing on us. Some guys have played a lot of minutes in the last 48 hours and it kind of showed tonight...We got out of our structure. We had some chances, to be honest with you. We just couldn't turn it into goals."
