We were hoping to get the team right after this tournament. We were hoping some guys would play good and we'd say OK this is our five guys.
That's what we were hoping for, gain a little momentum heading into the Big Ten. We have as good a chance as anybody if our guys play the way they can.
It was really disappointing down there. It was a tough field, but that's the way I have always scheduled. I want our guys to play tough competition to see what it takes to get to that level.
A couple of the guys played fairly decent but three of them really struggled.
There have been so few decent films involving Negroes that right away everybody expects every film to do everything. But when you make a flick, there are maybe two things you're trying to put into that flick. You can put the other things in another time.
We just have to take one shot at a time. We have to stay in the present and forget about what has happened and do the best we can every shot.

At about 6:30 this morning, we got reports from citizens in the area that there was a green van and a white car chasing each other up and down Central Avenue shooting at each other.
There's a trend toward anti-heroes now, and I think it goes back to guys like Bogart and Cagney. They seemed to have no compassion, and they were always alone.
It's too bad about 'Dark of the Sun.' It was really about Tshombe. When I read the script, I thought it was going to be a political movie, and I thought we might even have a hassle. But the director simplified it to brutality and bad taste.
