It's great to have that kind of family support.

I've known Andre (Miller) for about ten years since he's been at the University of Utah. It's good to hear his voice and his support. All those things are good. I appreciate the support from all my friends and family. Everything's kinda in the past right now. Surgery went well, and I'm happy to be here for spring break.

Our main leader (last year) was Jason (Ellis), who is probably one of the better players to ever play at Boise State, but he was one of the quieter ones, too. That was tough on our team.

I'm not expecting anything less than what Nevada will give you every night. I'm sure it's a tough atmosphere that's very loud.

He was very encouraging. He's kind of a Superman, but he said he came back with more energy.

I would say it's going to be a group effort. What we've done since last spring and over the summer is come together as a group. We've worked on that, trying to build better chemistry.
