We started slowly but played better midway through the first half and were able to control the tempo of the game. It's always good to get that first win in conference play.
basketball believe build confidence confident good kids places pull remind
We just have to pull some kids out of the places they're in. Some kids aren't as confident as they need to be. We have to build their confidence and remind them they're still a good basketball team. They've got to believe it and play like it.

We're preparing for this as if it was a Big Ten game. Our players have been pretty good about not overlooking anybody on our schedule.

I worried more about that earlier in the season. I can't jump to conclusions after one game.
