We talked about positive energy going into this game,”“I thought our guys played together. I thought we played tough, and I thought we played all the way through the [final] stretch of the game.”

“Nobody wants to play these ACC games this early, but if you play them and win them, it’s good,”

We’re glad to get here and not just get an ACC win but a road win.”

Following Maryland -Eastern Shore 63-52 loss at East Carolina Monday Maryland -Eastern Shore Head Coach Jason Crafton had this to say about his team performed at ECU!

. "ECU is one of the top rebounding teams in the country so I was glad of the way we competed in that area. Shot selection and turnovers were ultimately what hurt us tonight. We will have to be better at taking care of the ball and playing smarter as we prepare for Wednesday night's game at NC State."
