They're pretty young, so I can go in and play. After watching them playing in the tournament last year, that's a big dream I have.

It's pretty amazing to get a chance to play with some of your living heroes. Playing with Trey, Warren and Bob Weir was a thrill for all of us. You hear all the bull -- out there about these supposedly crazed, egomaniacal rock stars, but that's not the case at all. They were all totally sweet. It was cool to realize that you could look up to them and that your idealized vision of these people, our heroes, wasn't shattered. I think that's pretty rare.

I just want to win a couple matches. I had a pretty easy draw, but then it got tough because they had to redraw my bracket, so I just want to win a couple matches and go as far as I can — basically just go down there and have fun and win if I can.

We're working on the passing game. The backs are pretty quick. We'll have to throw a little more [than last year]. We got up to 6 or 7 percent passing last year, we're looking at 15 percent this year.

It's a great feeling. It's pretty much indescribable.

We put some pressure on them and were able to get some easy baskets in transition. We played a pretty good all-around game.
