 Quotable
 
Head coach, Ashley Fisher, on how the Bulls can learn from today...
"Full credit to UCF who just flat out were a better team than us today. We had good moments where we competed well but we need to do a better of job of that being the standard from first ball to last. We are at our best when we are communicating between courts and being willing to predict good things. We will spend time going over the tape with each guy and use today to get better like we always do."
