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

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.

Hampden's the best team that we're going to play. It's a rivalry, and we've been looking forward to this. It feels good to get that first big test, but they'll be ready for us when we go down there.

This was a good win. Anytime we play Anderson County it's a rivalry, and we've got to be focused and ready to go. I felt like we had that [Tuesday]. Now we've got a chance to take the district, but we've got to take care of business.

A rivalry is a rivalry. I don't care when you play it.
