We talked about it and had a good conversation,
bit defense playing relaxed road seem talked tight tried
You see it in the young kids. They seem a little bit tight on the road and they're more relaxed at home. I've tried everything and I've talked to so many people. It will come, but only by playing defense and rebounding.

I'm sure it will be one heck of a battle. Winthrop again. We've been very fortunate to beat them twice in a row.

The rule has been in there. I took Tennessee a few years ago to the Dominican Republic. They have tried to do away with it, but it didn't go through.

I've very disappointed Gregg Marshall didn't do more than he did. If I had been in the same position, I would have done anything I could.

So to say he pushed for it probably isn't fair. But I think he probably could have stopped it and didn't.
criteria
The thing about it is they really don't know what their criteria is going to be. But I've P.R.ed as much as I can.
