Coach Skinner on the Florida A&M Win
"The thing that I'm most pleased about is that we had balanced scoring, and this is the second game in a row that we've had more assists than turnovers. That's really important to our style of play and it's nice to see guys share the basketball. Defensively, we had some breakdowns, but the effort was there. Players continue to improve and we'll continue to make strides, and we're happy about that. It's still going to take us a little while to get where we want to be, but we've definitely made some improvements and hopefully we continue to improve."
 - Kennesaw State Head Coach Al Skinner
