All we're thinking about is the WAC Tournament and getting to the NCAA. But as a next option, you have to keep the NIT in the back of your mind, and so we need to win this game to keep it all going.
advantage amongst coming game league natures ourselves seven six teams won
If you're on the other end of it, you say that. I've said it because there are six or seven teams coming in here without another game tacked on like normal. We complained amongst ourselves about it and won every game. That's just one of our natures as coaches. That's the way the league is and sometimes you get an advantage and sometimes you don't. You have to take advantage of the advantage by winning.
