They Said It
Head Coach Dan Presel
“Central State played great today. We got out played for 40 minutes tonight. Their size really gave us trouble the entire night. We’ve been playing some really good ball lately. Definitely disappointing to not play our best as we head into the conference tournament. I’m excited about getting to Savannah and seeing how long we can stay.”
