Don Maestri Beat Quotations

We accomplished a lot this year. We won 14 games, which I think is overachieving. We beat (ULL) twice and Western Kentucky, which was a big win for our program.

I would think that (the win over ASU) is going to help our confidence. I would think we can score better (this time against ULL), but whether we can defend as well will be the question. We'll have to shoot at a high percentage to beat them.

It's early in the season. We aren't thinking that we are a good team yet, but rather a solid one. It is more important right now that we set the tone that we will be tough to beat at home.

They beat us soundly in the regular season up there. They got up early and we never made a run. They have good guards and a 6-foot-9 post player.

Their confidence factor is at a high level because they've won so many games as of late. They beat South Alabama and knocked both Arkansas teams out of byes. Not to mention they've got seven players and three starters back from an NCAA Tournament team.
