On the big win over Harding: "I think that's what happens after a good full week of practice. I tell our guys you're either winning and learning or you're learning and I think our trip in Colorado really helped us."
 
On the matchup this week with St. Mary's: "I think that they're going to battle hard. They always battle hard. Everyone is still trying to figure out their way, same with us. I expect it to be a really close game and it's going to come down to who executes the best. It's going to be a good glimpse of what conference play is like."
