?It?â„¢s hard to come [meet with the media] after your team lost,? Coach Mike Jarvis said. ?But it?â„¢s not as difficult when you know that you?â„¢re team played hard and tried its best and our team did that.?
Clemson?â„¢s Cliff Hammonds led AIA with 20 points, while UNC Wilmington?â„¢s Todd Hendley added 18 points. Texas A&M?â„¢s Donald Sloan scored two points with three assists.
Iran made a blazing 14-of-28 (50 percent) from three-point range, while AIA connected on just 9-of-29 (34 percent).
