Head Coach Bill Hempen
On the last practice before leaving for Boise…
"At this point, we have done a lot of work all year long, we are not going to get more fit or more field aware. We are in a good place and we are off to see what we are made of at the conference tournament."
On Fresno State…
"We have rewatched the game we played against them earlier and every other game that they have played. I'm sure they have done the same. There are no secrets anymore. We just have to be prepared for these tournament games, which are survive and advance. We are looking to put on a good show and put on our best effort as we enter this event for the first time."
