They Said It
Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"You have to give Morehouse all the credit. The knocked us from pillar to post and they couldn't miss a shot and we couldn't make one. When Steven Lyles went down, we lost our emotional compass. We have to regroup and get ready for a tough Clark Atlanta coming in here on Saturday. On the bright side Jayden Webley and Jorclay Kaniki keep getting better and better. We live to fight another day."
