QUOTE FROM COACH MULKEY
“Amazing, they’re ready to get back to practice. They’re taking tomorrow off, whether they want to or not. But they’re ready to get back in and get going. For me, we’re on the right trajectory, right where we need to be going into these next two weeks. So, we feel pretty good. We have a lot of work to do, but I think it’s in places that we can pinpoint and really work to improve. So, I’m excited to see what they’re going to do in the championship.”

WHAT’S NEXT
The Bears are hosting the NCATA tournament from April 22- April 23 at the Ferrell Center and will find out their opponent on Monday, April 12.
