to respond in a more competitive fashion today, so I was disappointed in that, but I just wanted to make sure they understood we stepped out of conference to play what could be the best team in the country. We need to keep it in perspective, so it doesn’t
affect us moving forward in a negative way.” </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
