COACH SPEAK
"It's never easy to win on the road, and our game at Tennessee State proved that. They were ready to play, but we were able to make more plays in the second half and come away with the win. Tennessee Tech will be the same way. We beat them in Little Rock, so we know they'll be prepared for us. We're going to have to play well to get another win."
-Steve Wiedower, Little Rock Head Coach
