The way Navy coach Paul Kostacopoulos see it, who better to pull off an upset in enemy territory than a team full of current and future military officers?

And while Kostacopoulos acknowledges the challenge his team faces on Friday against 13th-ranked North Carolina State in the NCAA Tournament, he knows poise won't be an issue for the Mids despite the game being played before the Wolfpack's home fans at Doak Field at Dail Park, where the home team is 23-7 this season.

"We talk about this all the time, we talk about using the aspects of learned behavior, if you will, of the Naval Academy,'' Kostacopoulos said on Wednesday.
