“They jumped on us pretty quick and I kept telling our team that Abilene Christian is a much better team than our players thought they were,” said A-State head coach Mike Balado. “Abilene Christian is a really good team with really good juniors and seniors, but that’s not excuse. We should have played much better and that’s completely on me. I’m very disappointed tonight and several of our positions, particularly power forward which gave us nothing. We’ve got to get better and we will go back to work tomorrow to represent our university better in our next showing.
