They are a hot team. You feel confident in any game you play. A lot of our guys know guys on SIU and are really looking forward to going down there to play.

I want to set a path for the underclassmen. If us upperclassmen do that then the younger guys will see that is what the program is about. I want to leave it better than I came, set the bar high and keep it there.

I try and take the same approach, keep the same routine. I wear the same socks all season, eat the same breakfast; eggs, hash browns, orange juice. I'm not crazy about it but I like to keep some rhythm.
