I think we are in a great position to pull an upset.

The conference tournament is a toss-up. Whoever wrestles well that day will win.

We are coming close to defining ourselves. I feel good about the direction we are heading. We are learning and progressing, and our attitude is good.

After last week, I think our mentality is where it was last year at this time, and even better. We are going to go in and get after it.

I think we are deep enough to win.

For us to win I think we are going to have to have 180 points. I think we can have five guys in the finals again, but I'm not sure which five. We could get as many as seven or eight, which shouldn't be unusual for a team that could win the conference dual title.

It has been a great team effort to come back and win without some of our great wrestlers. Some have stepped up and filled the void, and it has come from different places.

The guys believe in the program, and that's the reason why we could put another banner in the wrestling room. But I told the team that we haven't taken that next step. We need to take that next step. We need to fine tune little things. We need to take guys and instill a little more confidence.

The kid had been to hell and back.
