Guess we'll see real quick if this team has 'it' or not.
GO PONIES!!!
What do you mean if this team has "it"?
You mean the kind of "it" that allows a team to get through a brutal non-conference schedule, beating teams like UCLA and Duke ON THE ROAD and then bounce back from an injury-riddled regular season to win the conference tournament in a very good soccer conference?
The fact is this team has been through hell and back, both in terms of schedule and injuries, and has come out as one of the top 10 in the country. This is a horrible draw, though, because Akron and Northwestern are exceptional teams, too. Either could come in to Dallas and win, although it would be no surprise if we won. Don't sell Northwestern short. Yes, they're playing the defending national champions, but they're an excellent team, too.
Whether we win or lose Sunday, this team already has shown it has "it."
