build felt last maybe observers south start thrilled tradition year
We're thrilled to get some recognition. Last year, my first year here, I felt like we were observers to the Big South Conference. This year we are participants and we've got some things to build on in the future. Maybe start a little tradition here.

It's exciting. Hopefully, our fans will respond to it and come out in record numbers. I'd love to see 1,000 fans here for the game. It's very doable. I'll be disappointed if the Eagle fans don't turn out in record numbers.

The perfect scenario would be for Asheville to lose, Radford to lose and I believe we host.

I thought we had a chance. You hold a team to 36 percent shooting, you rebound with them, you get more free throws ... the difference in the game might be the stretch where we turned the ball over.

Our kids have displayed heart and character all season long, and it didn't surprise me one bit that we came back.

I think it's going to be a heck of a game. At least, I hope it is.
