Coach Mark Richmond set up the matchup:
" It is another great opportunity for our team on the road at Alderson Broaddus. AB is coming off a dominant performance over Glenville State. AB has really good depth, and a lot of interchangeable pieces. We will have to be locked into our scouting report. They have a lot of capable shooters. We will have to do a great job of guaarding the dribble, and keeping them out of the paint,"Richmond explained.
