It's one of the top universities in the U.S. and it's right in my backyard. Just with that, it would have been tough to pass up. Getting a chance to play basketball, which is exactly what I want to do, made it a perfect fit.

I'm willing to be patient. You kind of have to go into it not expecting a whole lot. Being a walk-on you go in there looking at it like there's nothing to lose. It is what you make of it. We'll just see what happens. It's just a great opportunity to see what I can do at the highest level.

I wanted to set the tone from the get-go. I kind of needed a little bit of confidence. My shot didn't feel all that good against Stoughton.

It's tough to bounce back from that. The shots weren't falling in the beginning and they controlled the tempo from the start.

The thing that the president did can only be called a betrayal.

We had batted him fourth every game and we moved him down today for the first time, just because he looked tight and hadn't swung the bat real well. I think it just relaxed him a little bit.
