”You got Tony playing good...you got Jamal coming off the bench, you got big 5-3...we're going to be good...if we can get Williams to keep dunking and shooting those three pointers I think we'll be alright if we play that defense all the way through,” Ike Davis said.

“I’m so psyched,” Bob Cummings said. “It's great to see them in the tournament again especially with the number three seed. I think they can really go a long way this year they've got some opponents they can beat.”
