Morehead State Head Coach Jackie Alexander
COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Couldn’t be more proud of how Kensley Feltner played tonight, I’ve talked about her a lot. I recruited her when I was at East Tennessee State and the Lord brought us together at Morehead State. She is the epitome of what I want Morehead State to be about. She is also a kid from the 606 who represents us so well. I can’t brag on her enough.”

PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… Monday was an amazing experience that our team was able to take a lot away from and learn so much about ourselves. I am extremely proud of our team and our competitiveness and our toughness. I think those are two things that you just can’t teach.”
“… For Thursday, we are so excited to come and play at home. This game against EKU is a rivalry game that they have won the last 7 matchups. We want to come and make a statement and protect our home court. This is a game that means a lot to me personally and Coach Jackie as well. We would love nothing more than to bring Coach Jackie’s first win as a head coach Thursday night.”
