When Mark was playing last year, we weren't as good personnel-wise as we are now.

The good thing about it is the cast covers his thumb but your fingers are out, ... He played extremely well with one last week and I asked him, 'Hey, does it bother you?' And he said, 'Not really.' So that's good.

When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.

One thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he's got a feeling for it.

Colorado State's personnel is a little different than when we played them last. (Freddy) Robinson is really helping them. He has stepped up the last four of five games. They have gotten a lot better in the half court defensively. Their size can cause us problems.
