“We shot the ball well, they just shot it better on their home floor,” BMCU head coach Jermael Bingham said. “We still have several conference games left, so we won’t let this deter us. Hopefully, our upcoming home schedule will allow us to rest up and finish strong.”
BMCU (11-8, 5-7 SSAC) returns to SSAC play Tuesday in Montgomery, Ala. as they take on No. 19 Faulkner with tip set for 7:30 p.m. CST.
