Quotes:
Justin Hutson, Fresno State head coach
On the game…
"What you could obviously see out there is that the ball was not moving. It reminded me of the same thing on the road at Colorado State where you get down and it's dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, and so we'll go back and watch that. We'll go back and watch again when they doubled Orlando in the post to see how we can take advantage of that and anything we can do defensively, whether it was discipline or whether we need to adjust our game plan."

Next up: Fresno State will next play at Nevada on Sunday at 1 p.m. PT on CBS Sports Network and then the 'Dogs head to play at Boise State on Jan. 20 (FS1) and Jan. 22 (CBSSN). All games will also be broadcast on 940 AM ESPN Radio.

Fresno State's next home game is Jan. 28 when the Bulldogs host New Mexico at the Save Mart Center.
