On the meaning of the win...
“We are doing alright. I wouldn’t say it’s a confidence builder. It’s experience more than anything else. The more games you play, the better you are going to be in the long run.

“Coming into the game we wanted to be inside their defense. Whether Lipscomb was playing zone or man, we wanted to get inside under their defense, which we did and it worked to our advantage.”

“We just watched film and we saw an advantage of ours. We could get inside their defense. That’s pretty much what we wanted to do coming into this game.”

On the team’s improvement...
“I think we are better than what we were a week ago. I’ve said it every week that we are going to be a lot better than what we were the last time we stepped on the floor.
