Of hype, we usually fold like lawn chairs..

If you didn't notice, we did not fold tonight. We held on and won. We faced an instate team that was coming into the game knowing they had the guns to pull an upset over big brother. We held on and they went home disappointed.

Friday night, we didn't fold, we hung tight and even took the lead late in the game when we could have folded early in the game when things were going badly.

This team is extremely poised and business like. There does not seem to be ups or downs. As coach said, the mistakes are all correctable and this team is a teachable team.

Two weeks from now, the closeness of this game will be forgotten. All that will be remembered is it was a win. I feel confident that this team will continue to improve as the season goes on.
