I didn't want to be on the same side of the bracket as Hope because they are playing real strong right now. Being the No. 1 seed tells you just how good they are and how strong they are playing.

What more can you ask for? We had the opportunities at the end. We had two shots under the basket in the final seconds, and we missed them both. You want the opportunity to take the final shot; we had it. We just couldn't finish.

Jon, you deprived the world of one of the finest. I hope, as you spend the next 50 years in prison, I hope you think about that.

I hope that China will continue with space exploration. It would be logical to have international co-operation. I hope that it will come about and that I can be involved in it.

I am very proud of the fact that I get to go out there every day and train in order to represent the Mexican people, and I can only hope they look up to me in a similar fashion.
