    "We've played three really highly-profiled, high major programs and beat one of them and took the other two to the wire," Southeastern head coach Jay Ladner said. "Our guys are hanging in there and I like the fact that they are disappointed that they lost. They feel like we could have had the opportunity to win the game. That tells me they have a lot of pride about themselves."
