Coach Kevin Burton commented in his post-game radio show," We wanted to make Bethel uncomfortable when they had the ball.Our pressure bothered them. We will have to shore up our paint defense as the last two games we have not defended well at times. Trevecca has some big people who can be tough to defend so we need to get that corrected before Monday night."
