Coach Said It

"Baylor is a tough place to play, they work hard at every position and really push hard," head coach Tony Minatta said. "I give them credit for taking us out of our game. With the injuries, I really felt that some of our players stepped up and answered the call. But at the end of the day, we as a staff need to do a better job of preparing the team to play in that type of environment."
