We were pretty much face-to-face. I thought, 'Here it comes. She's going to chew on me.' But she backed off. It's great to be alive.

It's pretty exciting. I never thought I'd have this many offers or anything. I'd have been happy to just get one.

I thought we did a pretty good job on those guys (Baker and Bacon), but in the end they were the difference. I think our defensive effort was pretty good. We held them to under 60 points, but we just didn't shoot the ball well, and in this tournament, you can't afford to do that.

It's got a beautiful claw mark. I think I'm going to get that one framed.

What I remember was just how big the head was ? it seemed enormous.

I hadn't taken one or two steps when the bear burst out of the brush. It charged down and then it stopped.
