It takes a lot to have that happen, but they have the right makeup, right character and mental toughness. They've stepped up down the stretch in most games, so we're encouraged, but that's a fine line. There's so many great teams out there.
More Quotes from John Tharp:
It's been fun because this is new for us and our program. It's been interesting. The kids have handled it very well. They are very level-headed kids. They understand how one game changes things quickly.John Tharp
Those guys have made us focus every day. It's not as if I have to motivate them or remind them. They understand what we're trying to do. If anybody steps out of line or doesn't work as hard as we think they ought to be, the seniors set them straight.

You don't think about it as a coach at the start of the season to win every single game and receive all this attention.

It's a dream to have a last game like that, to send our seniors out undefeated in front of a crowd like that. It just took us 20 minutes to get going and get aggressive, but we did.
John Tharp
To do what we've done, what people don't realize is 13 of our 22 games were on the road. We were in this building only nine times during the regular season. We did it being on the road a lot of times. This place can hold (enough fans) and do what it's supposed to do.
