Last year, I got to the final, and I didn't expect to do that. And then this year, being section champion — it gives me confidence because I know I can do it.

I visited the Gymnasium in The Hague and passed my final examination (in the sciences section) in 1943.

I would expect a couple of listings by the end of the year.

That depends ... am I in the final year of my contract?

Making it to the Final Four last year was amazing. It was special.

The year before I got there, KU was in the final four. At that time there were only 32 teams in the tournament. So you had to be one of the best to get in. It wasn't like today where the no. 1 seed plays a 16 seed that barely had a .500 season.
