Coach Sims remarked, "Going into today game after two days of practice we really focused on improving our defense and just getting better overall. Shooting 75% from the free throw line after shooting 55% over the last two game was a big improvement today. The pace of which we played today was very favorable for us as we were able to dictate the tempo consistently to style of basketball we play. There's still a lot work ahead for the team and we will continue to improve in our areas where we need improvement."
MACU plays next on Thursday, November 6th at Hampton University.
