WKU Head Coach Rick Stansbury on Coming Back to Play ODU Again:

"We know Old Dominion. We know what we are going into on Saturday. Let's face, I haven't looked at any stats, but they will be sold out, because this is their game. This is their game that separates everything. It'd be nice to have it the last game, but they are going to have it this game. So we know what we are getting into going over there. They have the best environment in this league besides Diddle. Even the first time we played up there, it was a terrific crowd, close to a sellout the first time, but you can bet it's a sellout this time. So we are going into a tough environment and have to play against a really good basketball team, so we have to handle both of those things."
