COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

I was very pleased with our effort in getting a road win to kick off conference play. Road wins require a ton of mental focus and physical fortitude, and I thought we brought both of those to the table this evening. We'll celebrate this one for a bit, but it's onward and upward starting [Thursday] morning.
