"We won 15 of our last 16 games ... so I know we’re pretty good"


Steve Alford Mar 20 2010 8:15 AM from TheNewsTribune.com

"Yeah, I would think so ... If we can come out and do well and advance, it would, I think. The way we’ve played in the last six weeks, I think, has made it special. But the further you advance, the more special the year gets."

Lorenzo Romar Mar 20 2010 7:28 AM from The Olympian
