She must've been in here every week, filling in applications, but it paid off. Of course, she had a 4.0 average and a 30-plus on her ACT, but it wasn't just that. She worked at it.

It's the effort you put forward and how creative you are. I've had several students with a 3.3 and a 21 ACT who didn't qualify for an academic scholarship but put forward the effort and got $5,000.

It's hard to keep track of scholarships because there's no main database. I get out and look for them, but (students) have to look, too.

Nine times out of 10, I'd give P.J. the ball. He's shown he can get the job done. There's no way I'd pick anybody else. (A&M) is a big deal, but the guy has meant so much to the program. He's an incredible player.

It was incredible. We've been doing a great job attacking the ball, keeping people out of the paint.

Everybody makes fun of me. They'll say, 'Oh, you're not practicing today?' Big surprise. Sometimes, I think I should sit on the side with a cold drink.
