We needed to play Maryville. I don't want to sound like I was pulling for one conference team over another in the semifinals but it's true. Our guys were disappointed we didn't get the No. 1 seed and I told them 'look guys you need to understand that's the best case for us because being No. 2 sets us up to beat Fisk and Maryville again and improve our quality of wins index.
More Quotes from Tony Duckworth:
