Key Quotes:

Head Coach Mike White

On what he’s looking for from his team:

“We’ll play a little bit differently against Troy (than Georgia State). We’ll throw out another defense or two. We’ve gotten better offensively, so being able to evaluate the jump that we’ve made in these 10 days will be important. We’d like to play a couple more guys who didn’t get an opportunity to log minutes (at Georgia State). We’ll play a couple of different lineups. Most importantly, what you’re looking for is growth. You’re looking to play better than you played against Georgia State, and we’ll be looking for even more growth in the opener.”

On facing Troy:

“Troy was a team we immediately reached out to when we started looking for an exhibition opponent. We have a lot of respect for their head coach (Scott Cross) and their coaching staff. I go back a long time with a bunch of guys on their staff. When I was a young assistant coach at 22 years old back at Jacksonville State, Troy was our biggest rival. It’s pretty neat to compete against that team for so many years. I have a lot of respect for the way they defend and their toughness, their physicality. They’re coming off a really good year. Scott has done a wonderful job there. It gives us an opportunity to compete against a team that I know is going to play incredibly hard and be incredibly prepared and we’ll learn more about ourselves by Sunday evening.”
