I'm sure they would have been key for us. They are both learning every day by watching and that's a good perspective to have.

They knocked us off last year so you definitely have that deep down and still think about it. We also go in needing the road win, too ? that's enough motivation.

It's another week for me to wear this Missouri State uniform. I like playing for this coaching staff and for this team. It's almost over for me, but I don't want it to end.

It will be something nice to look back on later, but I don't really think about awards too much right now.

It was two good wins here, but a lot of other teams are playing confident. We just have to carry our confidence on to the road and keep it up.

It went excellent. I'm not lying. I said I didn't want to come here because of that speech. I saw Jackie (Stiles) do it and it made me nervous.
