When asked what has been the key to the teams early success, O'Brien creditied his seniors.

"The seniors on this team have been great leaders, buying into workouts, the system and keeping the team focused," he explained.

"They have been great," he said. "The student section is filled every game. They helped us win the Northwestern game- they were so loud it helped us win."
