"1. We are in post season right now, we still have to lift weights, condition and have individual practices three times a week.
We have weights and conditioning at 6 am!!. It is true that we will have more free time and I am trying to focus more on school since during the season basketball was my number 1 focuss. This does not mean that I did bad on school but my priorities were differently set up than they are now. Also, we will not be travelling anymore which gives us the opportunity to focuss on school more. other than that, i will try to spend more time with my friends and relax.
2. my goals for next season are the following:
- get better as an individual - I always want to improve and become the best player I can possibly be
- Win the big south conference championship and make it to the NCAA tournament
- have a great season with 20 or more wins."

1. now that the season is over it doesnt mean we stop having work outs, so now instead of having practices we have weights and conditioning and individuals. I also try to catch up on my studies with the classes i may have missed.
2. some of my goals for next year are to win every home game and get our fan base up and to do better than we did this year by winning the conference and making it to the post season.
