This gives us a lot of confidence. Nobody wants to drop five in a row.

It's kind of like getting the monkey off our back, so to speak. We really needed that win. Nobody wants to drop five straight.

I was just trying not to laugh.

There's nothing better than that. We were joking around the last couple of days about playing each other.

To come out and play extremely well [against Maryland] was definitely a confidence boost for us, but it's nothing we can take for granted.

That news, combined with Rocco's great work ethic and dedication to his rehabilitation, gave us the confidence to make this deal.
