"I was elated with the win and the way we played defense tonight. I am happy with the effort and the defense. Tonight we had sixteen more shot attempts and everybody understands their role. We have a lot to play for and to finish strong in the MEAC and continue to get ready for the conference tournament. We want to build momentum and get our swagger back (in the final three road games) and continue to work hard and out work everybody."
