"The key will be to come out Sunday with the same focus and determination," head coach Fran McCaffery said following their huge win over MSU on Thursday. "We might not make nine (first-half) 3-pointers, but we have to do the other things we do to help our team win. We have the maturity and intelligence to make that happen."
