  • Records: APU (4-4, 3-3 PacWest), FPU (4-4, 3-0 PacWest)
  • Location: Felix Event Center | Azusa, Calif.   
QUOTABLE:   
  • "We just really struggled defensively tonight. Azusa got us in long rotations over and over again and just hit us with a barrage of three-pointers and physically outcompeted us on the glass. Offensively, they really contested everything around the rim and turned us over. It was just an undisciplined performance on both sides of the ball for us. We will get into the film and get a reset to try and prepare for Academy of Art on Friday."– head coach C.J. Haydock
