He's going to conduct practice until Mike returns, which we hope is tomorrow morning.

He gave me a jolt (Monday) in practice. I didn't know where I was for a while. He looks awesome.

We are consoled by the fact we couldn't possibly perform so badly again - even with practice.

The big talk around practice was that a few reporters called him the best post player in the Missouri Valley. Stuff like that gets you more prepared to play someone like that.

Like most Europeans do, he shoots those 15-footers all the time. He stays after practice and keeps shooting it. Seemed all that practice after games paid off.

It is the Post's practice to avoid activities that might lead readers to question the objectivity of the Post's news coverage.
