QUOTES OF THE DAY

“He came to me during the week and wants to be redshirted, so he’s going to redshirt and, as I told him, he’s has to coach on the bench and help us.”
Guard John Jenkins on last night’s victory:

“Overall I believe we played good defence, offense was kind of suspect and all over the place because we were all nervous, but we have to get it out of the way and I think we got a good win.”
Women’s basketball coach Melanie Balcomb on her squad:

“I’m looking forward to a young team that keeps getting better. We just don’t have enough upperclassmen right now and not enough experience but as we get it I think it could be a really exciting year.”
