Quotables – Joye Lee-McNelis
"Alcorn State is a very good basketball team, they are very athletic, very quick. They graduated their two best players, and we lost Jayla King who played out of her mind last year against them; she was key late in the fourth quarter last year. They have played some of our common opponents this season. We'll have to play well against Alcorn on Tuesday."
