The Blue Devils weren’t looking necessarily for stiff competition against the Fort Valley State University Wildcats but a feel-good outing was needed to cleanse the pallet after the disappointment of how they finished against Northwest Missouri State. There would be no real game pressure on the young Devils as was expected, considering FVSU was holding open tryouts just 3 weeks ago. This game was more about having good habits, doing the little things and not playing down to the opponent.
The Blue Devils wasted night time in asserting themselves running out to a 17 point lead against the hapless Wildcats, etching a double- digit lead before FVSU even scored a bucket.
