We replaced seven starters from last year, so we thought at the beginning of the season we might be pretty good even with losing a lot of seniors. But I'm not sure these guys thought they'd be sitting where they are right now.

I thought they did pretty good. That was better than I thought we would do. I think it helped having a little bit of an advantage since it was our home course, which is nice to have.

When you have that, you're most likely going to win. We played pretty close to 32 minutes tonight. I thought Tuesday we played about 16.

We played hard, but we didn't play smart.

Three-quarters of our offense was on the bench, and those guys just dug in hard and they played from the opening whistle. Every one of them thought we could win, even with the guys on the sideline, and that's what's so special about this year's team.

We don't have anything to do with it.
