We played only one bad half of basketball in 33 games. As our program has gotten better, our kids have bought into it and accepted the challenge.

We approach Wake as a very good basketball team. There have been more close games in the league this season than I've ever seen, and Wake is one of those teams where four or five games could have easily gone the other way.

These kids have shown that they really step up in the big games. Hopefully, that carries over into basketball, too. But I do know that we shouldn't be too rattled by the type of crowd and atmosphere that will be there.

I'll never forget any of those kids. They've done so much more for our program than just win basketball games. They're great examples for our younger players with their work ethic in practice and the way they conduct themselves.

I've always prided myself on teaching these kids defense. Like any other sport, defense wins championships and basketball games. Offensively, you're going to have off nights. But defensively, you can always play defense.

At $7 billion annually, video games are larger than the film industry. Technologies like simulations used by the military are a booming area.
