“We’re carrying a lot of confidence with us right now. Going up to Texas Tech and playing in front of sellout crowds and beating a top 5 team two out of three, is obviously going to give you a lot of confidence. It rolled over really well into today and it’s
the double-edge sword right now. Now we get about 10 days off and we’ve got a great rhythm, great timing, our guys are feeling really good and then we’ve got to hit a pause button. The big thing right now for us is to continue to try to stay in shape. We’re
going to lift, we’re going to relax, we’re going to get our bodies recovered and then after that we’re going to intrasquad a little bit and then get ready for Kansas State.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
