Well, you just have to chip away. We were fourth before losing to Marquette, and we now just have to chip away.

Week by week and day by day, we just have to find ways to get a little better and climb the ladder.

The win over Louisville was huge, and I couldn’t have been more impressed by what I saw. We came out and dominated the Cardinals from start to finish.

Now, it’s time to keep the momentum up and do the same the rest of the way. Nebraska is looming Tuesday night, and I have no doubt we’ll take care of business.
