Coach Herenda's Thoughts

"There are so many things that we need to work on - and we will. We need to get off to better starts and to learn how to guard better and get better shots; it will happen but right now the growing pains are difficult," said Herenda. "Northwestern is a very skilled and smart team. They presented us with some different problems than Seton Hall and St. John's will be another entirely different game but we have to keep on trying to get better every day and every game."

What's Next

Herenda's Knights head to the Empire State on Saturday, November 20, as the Knights get set to face St. John's at 6 p.m. live on FS2.
