We had a good lead on New Mexico State down there and got into a transition game with them and they beat us. Louisiana Tech has always played us tough here. We've got our work cut out.

We've got a lot of new systems going.
among complain last reason three worth
We had three straight, and they like to rotate it among the other teams, so I can't complain about that. But the reason why you want to be a part of it is to get the (television) exposure. It was worth it for us the last three years because we got the exposure.

gets roll
When Julian gets on a roll like that, it can be very intimidating.

With Ahmet and Stephen in there, that's two big bodies. But we don't want to run into the problem we had this year, so we still need depth.
