"We came up short last night, but we fought until the final buzzer sounded," reflected OCC Men's Basketball Head Coach Patrick Boylan. "Toughness and determination were two traits that Coach Andariese and I expected every game from these young men, and they always came through for us. It was certainly an unforgettable season and I could not be more proud of this team. I am excited to see what the future holds for our sophomores and can't wait to get a group of very talented freshman back for next season."
