... this is not the joint I referred to last time. I couldn't find it in time. It'll be on the next podcast, for sure.

Nice touch, the music of Chicago, coming from a midwest tournament, featuring a lot of lower-midwest players...

Thanks again for bringing the action into our homes. Tremendous insight. The responses by the Cincinnitti coach, in defeat - no excuses, even without one of his best players; what a Great Attitude. Small wonder his teams are so successful.

And a very telling characteristic in the response by Amber Gray, when asked about her dicision to go to Tennessee: We often hear that player A or B goes to a particular school because of playing time, start as a freshman, things like that. Not this player. It's admirable that she made her college decision while knowing very little about the incoming, 2007 class at Tennessee; not expecting anything; only looking for the right school, the right program. That speaks volumes about her character . . . .and confidence.

The same can be said for Ta 'Shia Phillips, It's easy to see why they're so successful in the classroom and on the court.
