Head Coach Matthew Mitchell
Opening Statement…

“We’re extremely excited to be playing in post season. We have a very tough opponent coming in to play. Middle Tennessee State has been a fantastic program over the last five, six, seven years. They played a terrific game last night obviously against Western Carolina and it will be a tough matchup for us. They pose a lot of difficulties for us match-up wise. They are not a tremendously big team but they fast, quick and can shoot the basketball. Anytime you have the leading scorer in the nation on your team that usually means the opponent will have a difficult time. We definitely will have our hands full with Middle Tennessee tomorrow night.
