As difficult as that will be, in a way it's like a tournament-type week. You've got no time to prepare for the next team, so it gives us a little bit of a simulation before we go into the Southern Conference tournament. At least that's the way we'll try to approach it.

aggressive david defensive efficient game good home hopefully pleased road team totally
Davidson was good tonight. They were efficient and we weren't aggressive defensively. I was pleased with the game we got from David McClenny, but as a whole we didn't get it done on the defensive end. We are a totally different team on the road defensively right now than what we are at home and hopefully we can get it back together.
