They were picked to win the division for good reason. They know how to win.

We played hard, but we just got too far behind early. We committed too many turnovers, and their [22] offensive rebounds just killed us.

Shawn [Vikings coach Walker] does a good job with his team, and they've been pretty good at home. We might have won three in a row, but we can't start thinking we've arrived.

That was important that we won a game on the road. I think we got a big lift out of it. I was concerned about how we would bounce back, because the guys were pretty up for the Bowie game [a 62-59 home-court loss on Tuesday night].

A move to Division I will increase the exposure of the entire university, not just the athletics program. Recruiting will be a little easier, because of the national recognition NCCU will receive from being Division I.

They've got a good team. It's a big rivalry, so I hope the guys will be ready to play.

131

I think the guys are all learning their roles now. But we've still got a long ways to go. I expect Livingstone to come in and play hard. It's a division game they want to win, and it's not like they've been getting blown out a lot.

We knew the kid [Johnson] could do it -- he just hadn't done it. He just played outstanding basketball in the second half, and we did a good job of getting him the ball.

These games are running too close together. I know St. Aug is going to be athletic. They've got three guys scoring in double figures. I don't know how we're going to slow them down. It's going to be a challenge.
