Coach Lucas Says
"Congrats to Jon and Georgia State they do a great job with cohesiveness and right now we have a bunch of individuals out there right now. Until we learn to be a team we will have close loses to good teams. I truly believe we are better than this, but those eight guys need to come together to become a unified unit. Once that happens we will be fine."
