I got slammed across the head pretty hard. I actually blacked out.

They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.

When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country. We're trying to establish ourselves as a powerhouse school as well. It's going to be a tough challenge to see where we are as a team.
