I don?t think it?s an upset either way. When you are paired up eight and nine, you are truly the two teams the NCAA Committee feels are balanced in terms of matching up that first day. The winner is going to win, and that?s the way it?s going to be.
We're playing well and we want to continue to do so. It's really important for us to get some wins to ensure a possibility of NCAA postseason play.
I think if we can win a game like this, we should be in the NCAA Tournament. That should take us over the hump.
If (the NCAA tournament teams) were selected today I think we'd be in. But there's still no guarantees. We have to continue to play well and close out the season the right way and not leave everything to chance.
I know as much pressure as I've felt (to get to the NCAA tournament), they've felt the same amount. I know how important that is for Eric, but Jonathon, being from Arkansas, he wants to do it for his home state.
It's been a building process and that's been maybe the next stage we had to get to, to get to the NCAA tournament. To be able to do that, that's an accomplishment.
