It makes it hard, because we know we can win the games. We just have to keep our heads up and keep on coming back every game and come back hard.

Playing that game in that atmosphere, and playing with the No. 1 team in the nation, just gave us confidence that we can play with anybody in the nation, and keep up with anybody, and beat just about anybody.

They hit a lot of shots with hands in their faces. They just caught fire.

We made it a point that we had to close out even harder to the shooter so they wouldn't get an easy shot off. We knew that was what we had to do because they came out on fire in the first half.

It's going to be big. It's probably one of the biggest games in their history besides that Doug Flutie thing that I can recall. We're up for it.

I?m just happy that our weather is coming in [today] and not Friday.
