THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Terry Fowler
On what he's looking for in the two exhibition matchups: "Number one we have to play with great effort and great energy. We want to see energy, effort and figure out our rotation as we head towards the regular season."
 
On goals and expectations for the week: "We want to limit our turnovers and we need to rebound the basketball. We also talked about playing with pace this season and I'm interested to see how many possessions we have and how well we push the ball."
