I still have my basketball legs. I have been trying too hard, too quick. It's kind of a work in progress right now. ... We're about a month behind.

Our basketball team has had a very special year, and coach (Steve) Rives and the Statesmen are looking forward to this weekend.

On paper, we're .500, but if you look in deeper, we're so close to being a really good basketball team.

We're trying to really get this thing to a point where it's about basketball, but it's more than about basketball. It's got to be a fun place to go.

That's the game of basketball. We could have quit when we're down seven but they kept trying to make plays. You keep trying and maybe the ball will roll your way sometime.

I don't think you can sell democracy at the point of an M-16. We're just trying to force it down their throats.
