I would call it a pleasant surprise that we have a BB team that can win even if against a lesser opponent and at home. The other BB team has not been able to do that.

University of The Incarnate Word. I think they are in Texas somewhere. They must be pushing sports information types to use their initialized brand like SMU, UCF, USF, etc. which is kind of funny since nobody knows who they are.

Interestingly, incarnate has the same meaning as carnate.
