Laker Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jason McKinney had this to say about the weekend. “We had a good fall and practice has been going good. I am happy with our guy’s progress so far, but we are not even close to being satisfied because that’s what we are about. We are about getting better day by day and embracing the grind. We are really looking forward to competing against somebody other than ourselves. We get to see good competition this weekend so we will get to see where we are and what we need to improve on.”
