"We learned some valuable lessons today in our game.  It doesn't matter who we play or what the situation, we must always be ready and play with urgency.  We have set a standard for ourselves and we did not play up to it today.  We did enough to win and give ourselves a chance to do something special on Saturday and I know the guys are going to be ready."
