HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:
Head Men's Basketball Coach Josh Clark on the matchup with the Tritons and Luke Brown's big night:
"We started the game well and led by seven with 13 minutes left, but we let them back in it with open 3-pointers," Clark said. "We played tough in the second half, led by Luke Brown's play. He played the way he's capable of playing every night. He needed a game to show what he can do against a tough team."
Clark on the upcoming trip to Council Bluffs on Saturday:
"Iowa Western is very similar to Iowa Central," Clark said. "We have to focus on the things we can control and let go of the things we can't."
UP NEXT:
The Hawks will hit the road for the final time in the regular season and will take on Iowa Western Community College at 3 p.m. Saturday in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
