They (the orphans) thought they had gone to Disneyland. They were excited to see American visitors.

I just have a love for Romanian orphans.

Romania was closed to Americans at this time.

Just to see the poverty in Eastern Europe is shocking.

Tracy (Anderson) and I had talked about having a holiday tournament for some time, and now that our program is stable, we believe this is a perfect time for it. It's going to be in the middle of the winter, and I think that it's going to be easy for us to market, and it'll give us an opportunity to showcase UTPA.

This is the most difficult schedule that we have had since I've been head coach here. We are playing against SEC, PAC-10, Big 12, Missouri Valley Conference and Conference USA teams.
