It´s definitely an advantage. We´ve got guys that have played together the last three or four years. A lot of teams really juggled their rosters, ... The core of our team is back, most of the team is back. We´re sitting good right now.

Defensively, you have four or five guys who have played together at least three years as starters, ... These are highly experienced players who have played with each other since they were freshmen. Defensively, we take a team approach.

There are absolutely guys who are going to want to get things off of their chest, and that's why we're doing this. We have more than 700 people, and we're not going to agree on everything, so it's good to get together and talk about everything that's happened.

Our lineup's been thin all year, ... We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.
