Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4255191, member: 73"] The experience we gained from this game will carry us a long way. We fought, we played tuff defense, and we won ugly. We found a way to grit it out and win when we didnt have our best stuff and we did it under unbelievable pressure. I dont have to go into why it was ugly, thats already been taken care of in other threads. This game made us a better team. It amplified our weakness's and showed us our over all strength. We were forced to play under tremendous pressure and although many saw us as nervous and shaky we over came those two imposters and learned how to win inspite of them. We need to understand if the refs are going to tolerate the ruff stuff then maybe we need to play ruff too. Paiges scuffle over a jump ball where the refs were forced to call the game close changed the game. From reading the posts about this game blame is placed everywhere as it should be. However I see this experience just one niche in are arsenal to make us stronger. It was an ugly game and we were forced to find a way to get through it and we did. Winning isn't always easy but its always worth it. We showed fight determination resilience and belief in our selves. Ive repeated this many times. Winners find a way to win. We may have looked scared and out of sorts, but we remained positive. When you dont play your best and find a way to win then you've grown to a new level of mental strength. Maybe this win, which didnt come easy, was the test we needed to increase our belief which builds confidence We have gone through alot this season and are better because of it. Looking back at where we were a few months ago and seeing where we are today shows us that. Now this game we can include in our learning experiences this season. This games experience will show up down the road when we get in a tight situation. Because of this game we know we can do it because we have already been there and done it. We have a few days to get ready for this weekend. This game prepared us for this weekend and unfortunately Indiana and the winner of the ND/NC State wont be as prepared when they face our defense.
