Bethune-Cookman Assistant Coach Gravelle Craig:
How do you think your team played tonight and how do you feel about your team heading into the MEAC Tournament?
"We played with energy tonight. We had a pep in our step tonight. We have one more game and have got to go down to Tallahassee and play hard so that we can have some momentum going into the Tournament."
How did you guys prepare for WSSU? The Rams leading scorers were held to 8 points.
We wanted to take away the 3-point shot. We knew that Brian Fisher and Shelton Carter like to shoot the 3-point shot. We also wanted to keep Paul Davis off the glass. Those two things were the main thing and we did that tonight and got a good win on the road."
