This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.
A lot of people have said, 'You're laying a great foundation,' but why shouldn't we be working toward this now? I want the kids believing that we don't have to wait until next year.
They do a great job. They're up-tempo, they're physical and they get right up on you. Turnovers have been our biggest downfall. I can say it over and over again, but part of it they are just going to have to learn as they experience it.
It's been good for us, having a young team, to have those four hours. Lately, we've been moving from conditioning to more basketball. We spent some time together in the summer, and it's given us a great baseline.
I just want them to realize that half the people in the country aren't playing for anything and we have an opportunity to play for something. This is a great chance and I know my kids will get up for it. We'll be there. Where the game will go, who knows? But we will be there.
