break days definitely looking packing planning plans playing red second spring throw
I feel real comfortable that who we are playing and who we could play does not throw up any red flags. I'm looking at it like I'm definitely packing for two days the first weekend, and then I'm not going on spring break the second weekend. There's no plans in the foreseeable future, so I'm planning on playing some basketball.

He's definitely the most tenacious defender we've ever had here. He needs to continue to improve his shooting, but he's tougher than nails.

I feel better that our key people are very confident, very stable. I feel worse that we definitely don't have the depth. We have more depth inside than we had last year, but no experience. And we have no experience or depth inside or outside in comparison to what we lost.

It was a life-changing experience, and other than my children being born, I don't think I've had another one of those, ... It might sound hokey, but I know I'll be a better person and American for going over there.

I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.

I've been watching the Super Bowl, and they could have used (instant) replay on some of those calls. There were a lot of weird calls in that game.
