Post-Game QuotesArkansas vs. Texas SouthernDec. 3, 2008
Texas Southern Head Coach Tony Harvey:“It was a tough, sloppy game. I only saw about 11 minutes of it (before being ejected), so I really had no control over it. We started out with a chance to compete. We should have slowed them down and that was our goal. We would have had a better chance if we could have done that. Arkansas played great I can’t take anything away from them.”
