Coach Skinner on Beating Thomas at Home
"This was a good game for us considering our travel and our play in West Virginia. It was important for us to bounce back. Our execution continues to improve, so I'm really happy about that. Defensively, I thought the second half we did a really decent job. We're learning, and as I've said before, it's a process and guys are learning it. From that, it's going to allow us to continue to be successful."
 - Kennesaw State Head Coach Al Skinner
