The key for us is the same thing -- we have to play with an urgency that every play, every possession is vital. We have to be physical, and we have to block out. And we have to play hard, but most importantly, we have to play smart.
We also need to win. We have three teams breathing down our neck just one game out of the final playoff spot. All teams are playing really well right now, but maybe the hottest of any of us is Idaho. Randy Livingston has them playing their best ball right now, and the Stampede went down into Rio Grande Valley and got a big win.
Undoubtedly, if we are going to have a shot to make the playoffs, we are going to have to get very hot ourselves. If we play with the type of urgency and competitiveness that we did against Iowa the other day, I like our chances. Let's see if we can't come up with a big one tonight!
Not a good night tonight. The Ants have four games left. Two against good teams. WIll 2-2 get them in?
ReplyDeleteTexas SHOULD get in with their schedule, but they have similar problems as the Ants.
Agreed, not a very good night last night. I thought the guys were timid at best last night, and they better face their demons -- Ivan Johnson -- and let him know that we are not afraid and that we are in Erie to win.
ReplyDeleteAs for what it takes to get it, I think we will need LOTS of help if we only finish 2-2 in the last four, especially with how well Idaho is playing right now. If we can finish 3-1, we will be in better shape, and, God forbid, if we can scratch and claw and close the season out with some wins, I think we are in very good shape.
