More than anything else, I think it was the core beliefs of this team

which led to the overwhelming victory tonight without two key starters.

I'm not talking about the Pack line defense or the blocker mover offense. I'm talking about the core beliefs Bennett brought to the program such as humility, servitude, etc. This group of players just seems to have an inner belief in each other, in Bennett and his coaching that allows them to overcome difficulties. Bennett has truly established his "program" and culture.

Evan Nolte came up big tonight after all his struggles shooting the ball. Bennett obviously believes in him and I think we saw why. Atkins continues to step up his game and has become an important part of the offense.

The first years really are trying hard to fit into the program and the philosophy of the program. Wilkins made numerous big defensive plays, Shayok was on full attack mode all night, Hall is getting comfortable and not only scoring himself but making excellent passes to help others score.

Just an extremely impressive effort tonight by so many players.
