“It has nothing to do with what team we're playing in the Big South. Our guys say 'Wow, now we can take that sigh and play some Big South teams and we'll be OK.' It just doesn't work that way. These Big South teams are ready to knock your block off.”
“The crowd got its money's worth on a Saturday night. It's not a masterpiece. Coaches know there aren't going to be any perfect games. I just wanted to win this one and get out of here.”
