COACH SPEAK
"We didn't play well enough in the fourth quarter against Arkansas State. We were in the game, but we
didn't finish. We have to play all four quarters and close out games. Arkansas is a good team, and we
know we'll need to play well for the entire game to beat them."
-Little Rock Head Coach,
Steve Wiedower
