Obviously, I didn’t play my best game, I’ll be the first one to tell you that I played bad, but you ask all these other guys that, they probably missed stuff here and there
Gagliano · Mtsusidelinesthe day after Middle Tennessee's 2026 game against Kennesaw State
It wasn’t a pretty night, all night for either one of them, but when it was needed, they gave it to us
Mason · Mtsusidelinesthe day after the 26-23 game
The energy and momentum, it’s going to ebb and flow during a ballgame, and so we just have to make sure that we’re not tossed and turned by what happens in a ball game … So just, stay the course, stay positive and make sure we focus on the things that we gotta do
