I have been a 16 seed, a 14 seed and a 12 seed, so I understand that when the ball gets thrown up you can throw those seeds out the window. With Davidson, the first thing is their experience. Offensively they want to push the ball. I think getting back and not giving up easy baskets is key.

I don't think anyone can ever imagine -- please don't give me any credit for this. It's those 11 guys in there. They've been as solid and focused and committed as we could ask. I don't know if I've ever had a team more committed to just going out and doing what it needed to do.

Todays a great day for us because today is the first day in 18, 19 months where we actually know where we are. As much as we speculated, as much as we thought it through and did the case studies and all those things, it finally came to an end today, and now we know and now we move forward.
