"We tried to build our schedule so they could develop the proper way," said Smith last February of last year's team. "I think that (has been) a big key for us."

Time to lace em Cat fans, tomorrow and Tuesday will be nail biters. Time to get those juices flowing, get on your lucky Cat gear, sit in your lucky chair and root those Wildcats on to victory.
