"I thought we played a complete game," said CAU Head Coach Darrell Walker.  "We were able to get up and down the court. And we held Albany State to 60 points, which I thought was a pretty good defensive effort.

"I thought our bench play was unbelievable," he said.  "I thought Big Mike played well off the bench with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and then Shelvick had ten points.  So our bench really gave us a nice lift tonight. And Jamal played well, leading our starters.  Tonight definitely made me feel good."

The Panthers have a short turn around as they head back down to central Georgia to take on Fort Valley State Monday night.

"It's one game at a time," Walker said. "We have to handle Fort Valley State.  They lost to Morehouse by just two points, so it's going to be a good game. They play us well down there. We've got to get prepared and get ready."
