How's the Floor Coach?

Hell of a nice start to the conference slate.

Beating Arkansas, a media favorite for the West title, without Edmundson and Sharpe, is a nice accomplishment.

But what impresses me most is this team doesn't quit. They don't understand that their freshmen. They don't get it. According to "the masses" they're not supposed to be any good. They're supposed to roll over at the first sign of adversity.

Gordon put it best, "We have great talent out here. Players can run, jump, and play great defense. We just came out and played hard because if we played hard, we knew we could win."

After this 69-67 victory, State has won seven of it's last eight against Arkansas and five straight in the series.

The quote of the night goes to Gordon. When asked about Slater's game winning shot he said, "It scared me for a little while, but he made it though so I'm happy."

Yeah Gordon, you and me both.
