"We're just going to watch the two teams today, take notes, go to scouting, come in tomorrow and play the game we know," McKnight said. ... "I feel like we just gotta come and play our game, know what we're going to do and live with the outcome."
Jamarion Sharp talked about how it felt for him to win C-USA All-Defensive Team and win C-USA Player of the Year:
