QUOTES
"I look forward to seeing how the team responds from an off performance last week. We fell in the rankings and need a good week to stay in the running for an at-large bid to NCAA Regionals. We'll need all five guys playing well but I think there is a good chance we will see that happen this week." - Head Coach Mark McEntire
