could take solace in their defeat.
“We really had some great times and
there were many highlights,” he said. “It
is nice for the guys to see wLo they will

On his team’s performance against
the best team in the country, Nash said it
will work to his team’s advantage.
“Fortunately we have the No. 1 team
