// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"Everyone's happy to get back in the win column today. It's never pretty when you compete outside for the first time, but I felt our play overall was a little better than I anticipated it would be. Tomorrow will be a tough test. South Florida is the defending champion in the American and one of the elite teams in our conference. They compete exceptionally well and have coaches that will have them ready to play. I look forward to tomorrow's match-up. We have played teams equal to maybe even better than USF this season and should be prepared in our own regard to compete and play them tough."
