-Gates starts off by wishing good luck to Mizzou's volleyball team in the NCAA tournament and to the football team in finding out what bowl they'll get to play in.
-Gates Gates points out that Mizzou and Georgia were the only teams to come up with road wins during the ACC/SEC Challenge.
-Gates said Wichita State is playing great basketball and they're going to need their crowd to create a homecourt advantage.
-Gates said one of the reasons they increased the difficulty of the schedule this year is because they wanted to go up against multiple styles of coaching. The way Wichita State plays is going to be a lot different than the way Pitt plays.
-Gates said Aidan Shaw and Tamar Bates earned their spots in the starting lineup last game, but nothing's ever set in stone. He said no one can afford to get complacent. Gates said he wants to see Shaw come up with rebounds more often and see Bates stepping up more on defense.
-Gates said East took a back seat last year being at a new school for the fourth consecutive year. East's confidence has grown being at the same school this year and he's been comfortable being more vocal. Gates said they can't win games with East being silent.
-Gates said they HAVE to get to the free throw line more often. Also wants to keep shooting 3s, but not settle for them.
-Gates was asked about Ronnie DeGray. He said he loves all his former players and Ronnie helped get them to the NCAA tournament last year. Looks into the camera and tell the Antlers not to boo him.
