It’s a good thing the Wolfpack forced 13 first-half turnovers to make up for its small number of rebounds. “I told (Dontrez) and those guys, ‘You’ve got to impact the game by rebounding the basketball and doing different things,

“I love our first three minutes of the second half. I love our first five minutes of the first half, just in between we’ve gotta continue to get consistent in every way.”

Following Colgate’s 74-72 loss to Syracuse Tuesday in Syracuse New York Colgate Head Coach Matt Langel had this to say about the game!

Another hard-fought game here. We did a little bit better to show some resiliency and fight together but it just wasn't enough. Too many self-inflicted miscues that allowed easy baskets for Syracuse. Offensively we created great looks throughout the game – a couple good shots late with the game on the line. We let too many missed shots impact the next play and that can't happen against a good team. This game will prepare us well for the next game. We'll learn from the experience and move forward."
