QUOTED:
Yolisha Jackson, Head Coach:

• "There's a reason [Arkansas State] won the tournament last year. And right now, Coach Rogers has those kids playing and a really hot level…It's January 8th, and we've got a lot of games left. This game is not going to define what we did in November and December, and it's not going to define who we are on January 10th."
