Coach Talk

SKINS #2
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, SKINS #2. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Cam Akers and J.K. Dobbins), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
