The most important thing and the thing that becomes constant messages from the coaches is we're continuing to get better. |
There is a tremendous parody in the Big Ten and home advantage has played out this season for every team -- Michigan State has also struggled on the road. |
There is good energy there. They're still learning but they're accepting the challenge. Not it's just getting them to shake off the nerves. |
They're playing now at a level that is allowing them to dictate and execute the way we see them do in practice. It's showing their level of confidence. |
We had a close one with them last year so they will be ready to come out against us. My goal is that we continue to go from match-to-match and focus on things that will help the team to make that next step. |
You can't hang on to wins for confidence, because you can't hold on to things that you can't control. Knowing that they've done their best and have gone to the best of their ability, that's confidence. And that's what's going to let them play freely and be able to execute. |
You have to have the need to want it. I think they do. It's just a matter of when they don't have it to not fall off course. |
