Coach Tayo's Thoughts
"I'm happy about our performance this weekend. We had a few challenges to overcome, and we were able to. I like how we are competing and the energy we bring every day. Belmont and Murray State are always solid, and we knew we would have to earn each win. I am happy we stayed tough. Looking forward to Austin Peay on Thursday."
