THEY SAID IT
SEU Head Coach Andre Cook on the loss to LCU …
"First time all year I thought we played a little selfish. Can't do that to beat a quality team on the road. Lubbock is so well coached that you have to be locked in for 40 minutes. We weren't. Doesn't get easier for us. We need to move on to St Mary's."

WHAT'S NEXT
St. Edward's is idle Saturday and returns to action Wednesday in San Antonio vs. St. Mary's at 7:30 p.m. in Heartland Conference play.
