Arlington postgame

It is always tough to win in conference on the road, and Arlington is a pretty good team. Lonnie McClanahan had a monster night against us: a double/double in a non-conventional way with 18 points on 7 of 10 from the field, and 12 assists. We held them to 33% from the arc and shot 40% ourselves, but they shot 58% overall, and that is tough to overcome. You won't win many games against that number. Plus they beat us by 5 on the boards.

J. T. Thomas had a rough night at point with three turnovers against only four assists, so that did not help. Give the game ball to Mareik Isom with 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 of 5 from the arc. However, his three turnovers did not help our cause. Roger Woods chipped in with 16 points and 6 rebounds, and Josh Hagins with 14 points and 5 rebounds. One real problem for us was our 13 turnovers against 12 assists, not typical of us this season.

But the big story of the night was McClanahan. We just did not have an answer for him.
