The few years leading up to that season hadn't been that good. It was a turn-around year. We had good team chemistry. There was a whole new attitude with the new coach.

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.

After my junior year coach Zacher came to me and said 'I was talking to the coaches at KU and they said they were interested in you.

I would like to have a good season this year. But more than that, I want to compete in the state tournament.

Kemper Arena was brand new my senior year. It was an awesome experience because you can see everybody play and get to talk to them. I really enjoyed that. It's really too bad they don't do that anymore.

My freshman year I played all point guard. After that I played four different positions because players got sick or injured. Someone did tell me once they saw me playing center my sophomore year.
