“Extremely proud of our efforts in the second half,” Hart said. “We found a group that went out there and competed at the end of the third and fourth quarter. We ended up out-scoring them in the second half and made it a game. We were only down 9 with 5 minutes left to play, which showed our resiliency after being down 20 in the first half.”
