Underwood: 'I think you have to understand the abruptness of the end. I think this group is old, and they truly understand that.'
Expect the team to start fast on Saturday as it tries to reach the second weekend of the tournament for the first time since 2005. My take: It's a lock.
Underwood realizes the people here are friendly, hard-working, salt of the Earth. They do like to get to know the coaches. But they won't be pests. They want the guy in charge to like the place as much as they do.
