COACH SPEAK
"We have to start games better. We got off to a bad start again against Lindenwood Thursday night, and that hurt us like it did the first time we played them. We have to be focused and ready to play from the opening tip. If we do that, we'll give ourselves a chance to win."
— Steve Wiedower, Little Rock Head Coach
