It was a quiet night at the Vault in terms of the fans, and I think just the overall mood I felt at the game was kind of lackadaisical. I saw good effort from the players tonight, but at the same time it just didn't compare to a Big 10 game atmosphere. I think that will come with better competition,and so while I don't think the guys were slacking or didn't care, I think maybe subconsciously they were not playing as focused and determined as they would if it were, say, Michigan State.
That said, I'm happy with the win. They can't all be Van Goghs.
