QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"It's nice to have a streak going, but we just want to continue to get better. If we can keep on getting better every day, I think we'll be in good shape by the end of the year. It's always nice playing at home, but we're looking forward to playing on the road because the conference tournament is on the road. We've got to get used to playing well on the road. We feel like we've done all the work. We just want to execute what we do, and hopefully it's enough to hold up under pressure."
