Quoting Rich Manning
On playing Idaho State: "Thursday's game in Pocatello will give us another chance to exercise our road muscles in preparation for conference. Idaho State's team is well-coached. They also have a champion's mentality, having won the Big Sky the last couple of years. It will be a good challenge for us."
On playing Florida: "Florida is off to a terrific start. They are skilled, athletic and hungry to get back to the NCAA tournament. This is one of the most athletic teams in the country. It will be fun to see how we stack up against them. Fans that come out on Sunday will be in for a treat."
