“Excitement,” senior guard Dae Dae Grant said. “It’s an encouraging challenge for us. We’ll be ready. We’ll go out there and compete and look forward to the game. We believe in ourselves and each other. We’ve played high-major teams before. We’ve played high-major players. Basketball is basketball and March is March. Anybody can be beaten. You just have to believe in one another.”
