Coach Packard's Game Day Quote: "Our MAC focus now shifts to competition with our East Division opponents, beginning with Kent State. We need to improve our intensity and assertive mentality on the road. We are responsible for creating our own energy inside an opponent's building, and we need to respond to that fact. This factor will be key as we stretch into the remainder of our season."
