"Tonight we did a very good job in the press and created some easy scoring opportunities. I was really pleased with our effort defensively in the second half, ostensibly we got some good looks at the basket but didn't convert on a lot of easy buckets. We're going to get back in the gym tomorrow and get ready for Mississippi Valley State University Monday.", said Head Coach Carlos Funchess.
