Rob Judson Game Quotations

Kent State is a very good basketball team. They're off to their best start in school history, and we knew it was going to be a challenge, as just about every home game has been for us.

We definitely showed a lot of character and resiliency to come back. But Toledo's pressure defense put us in a big hole in the first half. We had 14 turnovers in the first half and we finished the game with 16. That's why we fell so far behind and that's why we were able to come back.

The outcome of the game is important for us to continue to play well. Sometimes seeding for a tournament can be deceptive.

I challenged James before the game because I didn't think defensively we were effective like we needed to be. Craig gives us a little more weight and then I thought James' athleticism bothered (Williams).

He practiced yesterday and today, and we did not have him in any contact. We will see how he is at game time on Saturday.
