We hope he can hit a lot better, since he's starting earlier because he's not playing basketball this year.

This year Washington is playing outstanding basketball. We've continued to play well, so each year when we meet, they get bigger and bigger with more excitement. It's beginning to be a big rivalry.

We hit a lot of balls out of bounds today. That's not really like us. I hope we get settled down by the time the playoffs start.

I understand how you may be forced into a situation earlier than you'd like where you might not have everything you want, but it's now going into the third year,

There were a whole lot of things last year that made me nervous. Starting off last season, I did not think we had a good enough team to get to the playoffs, and the truth of the matter is the kids all stepped up and grew up in a hurry and we ended up playing great ball.

I don?t see him playing this year. He?s really not getting a whole lot better. There?s been nothing official yet. We?re just going to wait until (classes) get back, talk to the doctor and go from there.
