Quote of the day
“One thing I said in the locker room is, you know, we got backed into a corner. A lot of teams, a lot of programs were just kind of fooled and we came out swinging and didn’t back down. I think that was a really big play for us, something that we really needed in a critical moment, and we got to keep growing and building off of that.”
