“We did a great job of that in the regular season, but in tournament time we understand we have to pick it up another notch. The Murray State loss really hurt us. We don’t want to have the same feeling again.”

“I feel great. No (soreness). I just have to get back in the swing of things. I’m looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to play.”

“Eight great years as a Commodore, [but] I’m a Bulldog. Come Saturday at 12:20, we’re still friends but … there’s going to be a little stoppage right there. The friendship is still there, but I’m trying to win a football game. … Other than one game a year, I hope the Commodores have a lot of success.”
