Quotes from head coach Rob Jeter
"Offensively we are way ahead of where we are defensively. So we are going to have to have a conscious effort this game to defend together and be better on that end of the floor. LA Tech is going to be a tough challenge, they are long and athletic and will be a similar test to Bakersfield. We will have to be better handling their pressure. This two-game road stretch will be important for us as a team."
