“We were mentally down going into the game against Sul Ross,” said Ramsey. “We didn’t play well against them. It wasn’t a lack of effort, it was more of a lack of focus.”
“We need to be more consistent on both ends of the floor,” said Ramsey. “We have shot the ball well in some games and then we won’t the next game. It is the same thing with taking care of the ball. And sometimes our offensive execution looks good, and then at other times we don’t have focus. We just need to keep believing and working. We need something good to happen so we can leave with a smile on our face.”
Ozarks will host Hardin-Simmons University December 12.
