On advancing in the postseason…
Part of the playoffs always is kind of getting through that first game. What I would say is I think this opponent was incredibly difficult for so many reasons. Their system of play is not what you see on a regular basis as a team. We tried to mimic them for two weeks in training and it’s hard because our players don’t play that way. It is hard getting a team to play that way so I give them a lot of credit.
