We were at the same hotel as the team and I had the pleasure of sharing a hot tub with them after the sting of that defeat. They were all VERY complementary of the crowd and the atmosphere. They thought it was awesome to play in front of that
My thought process is that beating CC doesn't help much (with pairwise) and losing to them would not be good...however losing to DU/SCSU doesn't hurt as much but beating them helps a lot
