We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley -- and by taking care of business, I mean winning all of them -- we'd be in it. Anything short of that, we couldn't do it. We'd be at least two games out with a lot of teams in front of us.
We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley, we'd be back in the race. Now we're a position where we can control our own destiny, if we play well on the road.
