Minnesota coach Chris Finch spoke about his team’s performance saying, “We’ve got to get better through winning. I thought tonight we left a lot of meat on the bone.” He further added that there is still more growth needed for the team. “We can play a lot better and that’s not to say we expect to win easily or anything like that. It’s just that when you get outrebounded and you turn it over and you don’t make the easy offensive play, there’s a lot of room for growth right there”, explained Finch.
