Wedged between tilts against West Virginia and Marquette, it would seem that today's game is one that could easily be overlooked, but this team has put itself in a position where it can't afford to drop any contest it should win handily.
The Cards are finally playing the type of basketball everyone expected in October, and any significant decrease in effort level or execution this afternoon would be a huge step in the wrong direction. I'm eager to see how the team comes out today, and confident that they've grown enough to not let the name on the jerseys of their opponent affect their mindset.
