Thanks for the updates. Can’t complain about going to the #5 team’s place and taking 2 of 3. Sure, a sweep was possible, but this is solid

You're welcome on the updates.

Yes, the sweep would've been awesome, but taking a series from the #5 team and conference foe on the road is great.

But we can't relax as going to Houston, then at home with a top 10 team in blow u.

Good win, but I still maintain the right to bitch and moan whether it's reasonable or not.
