I think just knowing we've been in those situations before helped. You could tell they weren't stressing, and they put in the extra effort. This is something that builds a lot more confidence.

If you're going to pick an opponent to see where you're at, you couldn't pick a better team (than St. Mary's). Every aspect of their game is just nails.
