I thought our defense would be able to stop the run better than we did last year (a 60-34 loss). That was our weakness last year, and it didn't happen. I was surprised they were able to run the football like they did.

I thought they played very good defense on us. They hit their free throws very well, especially in the first half.

I thought our defense adjusted real well to what Ruston was doing. Ruston looked good on that first drive, but the defense picked it up after that.

Everybody that came up to us and asked if we won, they thought we were lying. Some of them had this face on them, a shocked face, kind of like seeing a ghost.

This is one of those circumstances that the only way to have that kind of peace is to have that kind of faith. I don't think I've ever seen Matt in a bad mood and, in this case, he understands what he's facing, that it's God's will.

Right now, Walther is the team that we have problems with. It's just a mindset, that's all it is. We'll eventually get it. I like this team, and I think we can go a long way this year.
