QUOTES OF THE DAY
“We’re excited about our schedule. We were very aggressive trying to schedule good teams, and we are playing a large number of them. There are several NCAA tournament teams on the schedule, including a potential matchup with a Final Four team in Puerto Rico (WVU) and a game against a team that made the Sweet 16 at home (Saint Mary’s). There are a lot of quality games on the schedule.”

“This is a great honor for her. She had an incredible four-year career here she’s probably the finest student athlete I’ve ever been privileged to coach and I’m glad she’s getting this international recognition for her sportsmanship and character.”
