They are legitimate favorites ordsprog

They are legitimate favorites in their conference and in the league. Having said that, we've played them well over the years whether it's been at their place or here. We're looking forward to that test.

For whatever reason, they haven't played as well as they did at the start of the year. In December, I thought they were clearly one of the favorites in the league, and that hasn't changed. They're an extremely talented, capable opponent, and one of those teams that is looking to get hot and have as good a chance as any to contend in the conference championship.

(Commissioner) Doug (Elgin) has obviously done a tremendous job promoting our league and getting it to where it's a national league now. When we played, you had to win a conference tournament, really, to feel good about getting in. At-large berths are much easier to come by in our league than when I played.

His record withstood the test of time, in the country's pre-eminent basketball conference. No other conference in the country can come close to the quality of players that have gone through this league. So the fact that his record stood for 50 years speaks for itself. But it's also a testament to J.J. that he's the one to break it. A lot of great players tried. J.J. did.

I like having a couple of road games to begin conference play. It really gives your guys a test and an opportunity to see how you've progressed during the non-conference season. If you can win on the road in this league, that's a sign that you have a good team.

It's as tough as it has been, no question. There's no question the league has gotten tougher the last couple of years. When we first got into the conference seven years ago there was talk that the conference was down a little bit. The conference is on the rise the last couple of years.

We are the underdogs, the Netherlands are the big favorites. But we have to play two matches, and we know we played well against Germany (in qualifying), and they were also big favorites.

This was a good test for the Big East. Look at the teams in our conference. It?s the best conference in the country in my opinion and I think we passed the test. We got banged up a little bit, but we came through it and prevailed.

It's exciting after the position we were in for a few years [falling to last place in the league in 2003 after winning the Eastern Conference in 2002, then failing to make the playoffs in 2004]. But it's a credit to all our players and coaches.

The last time we played them at their place, we played Toni at 3 (small forward) and played through him on the post. He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. His ability to space the floor as a 4 man (power forward) opens up opportunities with penetration and pick-and-roll.

San Jose, year in year out, has been one of the best teams in the league. So it's a bit of a test for us. We need to come out and show that we're a legitimate contender.

It doesn't really matter to me whether we are picked favorites or not. You know, we have been in both situations and we found our way in other years to championships, and other years where we have been picked favorites and not been.

Eastern Michigan is one of the favorites in the conference to compete against Miami for the MAC title. EMU has some of the top freestyle swimmers and top divers in the conference and this should tell us where we stand going into the last couple of weeks of the season.

I've always been into documentary photography and spot news is one of my favorites. After 11 years in the business I was in the right place at the right time.

It's a very tough league and the way our teams have played all year and now with everyone beating each other in conference play it will only stay that way. This league has shown its mettle over the long haul.
