We came out aggressive right from the start and were really clicking. The team really shared the ball well and looked for each other on the fast break.

I was so proud of the heart we showed. Over the last three quarters, we fought our way back into the game and had a big surge in the fourth.

It was a back-and-forth, close game all the way. It was one of those games where we were kind of out of sync at times, but we definitely executed when the game was on the line; all eight players contributed to the win.

The third quarter really hurt us. They had been playing us full-court man the entire game, but we went through a couple of minutes in that period where Oakland got even more aggressive; we just couldn't hang on to the ball and they were able to score off it.

Of our 20,000 university graduates each year, 60 percent have a degree in science, technology or business.

Don't take it personally. The nation's Guardian readers all just arrived at our incredibly right-on jobs and are wondering if drinking seven fair trade coffees in a row will make us feel better about third world debt. It's hard to get involved in a game between a porcine American and small, dull looking Belgian.
