One word came to Dave Bliss' boggled mind when he was asked to reflect on a result that surely secured an NIT game at home for the Bears. Bears believe in themselves Iowa State wouldn't lead this quarterfinal. Pretty much the same way the Bears did unto Kansas, ranked sixth at the time, a few weeks ago. By believing they could. It's another for them to think they can, then go out and do it.
Coaches can only do so much.
They're a team with limitations, but the guys are generally on the same page, both among themselves and with Bliss. As for Eustachy, he was smarting. But he paid proper homage to the Bears. They came out on top of their game. I felt like we weren't into it early, but we fought hard for the last 30 minutes.
