HEAD COACH ROD BARNES "The team put forth a good effort. They've improved since Monday, but we still have a lot of work to do. One thing we have worked on is taking care of the ball. Today we only had six turnovers, so we've improved there. I'm disappointed in our free throw shooting. That is something we will work on this week."
"I'm pleased with our defense. We did a little better today. We put pressure on Christian Brothers. We have still have a lot of work to do, though. There is a long way to go until next Saturday (season opener versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Our goal is to be a great defensive team. We've go the athletes and the talent to be a great defensive team. We're going to win games on defense."
