I think something we all learn is that when you make a mistake, you have to pay the price. I think it's something that now, looking back, was the best thing in the world for him and for us.Jim Larranaga
I think they've had an incredibly great year with all the adversity they've had to deal with. You can't say it's the same team if someone gets hurt and they're not playing. That's not fair. You don't lose a guy to an injury or have a guy get shot. How bad a circumstance is something like that That doesn't just affect one guy. It affects the whole program. Somebody's life is in danger, and you're distracted.

It didn't matter what time of year, what type of game. We have a very simple philosophy that players behave in a first-class manner.

Familiarity is always important. One of the key elements to our great game in the NCAA first round in 2001 when we faced a very strong Maryland team was that our players had faced those guys during the summer - and so there was not a fear factor. We are hoping that will hold true this time.
