To win a national championship, you need ...

Audacity

"To win a Division III basketball national championship, you need the audacity.

"You need the audacity to believe in yourself when your fans and opponents count you out.
"You need the audacity to walk and talk as the victor even after you have lost.

"You need the audacity to reach out for help even when you feel that you are at your best.
"You need the audacity to play with a little bit of ego at the risk of being called conceited.

"You need the audacity to selfishly deny your opponents what ultimately belongs to you.
"You need the audacity to claim not one division III national title but two.

"You need the audacity to attain your goal through strategy and tenacity.
"So, if you’re looking for what it takes, you have it ... it’s called SPURTS OF AUDACITY!”
