Our guys were ready to play this game in an empty gym. But the atmosphere was electric.
Overall this was a really good game for us. This is such a tough conference, and winning on the road is incredibly difficult, so when you play at home they are all big games.
Every game is a little different. Certainly, this one is different because it's at Central and not at a neutral site or our gym.
We've got a bunch of guys that want to go and run. The pace of the game they (NNU) used was different and it definitely affected us.
This one goes beyond just the game and in some ways it's great and in some ways I hate it. It's like a social event. Everyone wants to go to the Central game. I can't quite understand why everybody doesn't want to go to every game, but it is a lot of fun.
It's always tough on the road, but I don't think that we came into this game mentally prepared. Our guys have to realize that this is going to happen and we have to be ready. We were fortunate tonight.
The crowd was a major factor in this game. Our guys were ready to play this game in an empty gym, but it was an electric atmosphere. It made a difference.
You'd certainly have to say it's among the best in school history. To do that in this type of game is exceptional.
