asking beat focused four game job kept matter next people team
Everyone kept asking me how you beat a team four times. I've told people how focused we are and how we take it one game at a time, so it really didn't matter who it was. It was our next game and we had to go out and get the job done.

against bench easy elevated game joe pressure
I can't say enough about what Joe and Travis did off the bench against Northern. In a game like that, it would have been easy for them to put some pressure on themselves. But they elevated their game and responded so very, very well.
