We are only just beginning to understand the power of love because we are just beginning to understand the weakness of force and aggression.

A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.

We are practicing with Hartland and they will get us prepared. They've been there the last four years and we should learn from them. They are a great program.
basketball height instead quick strong using
They're not really small. They may be a little shorter, but they're strong enough to be effective. They're quick and strong and they have some basketball savvy. It's more the mind-set than anything else. Instead of using their height as a disadvantage, they use it as an advantage. Obviously, they've made it work.

Duquesne played with a lot of energy and hustle. We didn't match that energy in the first half. But the game is 40 minutes long. I thought our size and strength eventually would take care of that. If Duquesne continues to play like that they'll start to win some basketball games. They've got a feel of how they want to play.

It's not like they welcome you with open arms in that environment, either. This is not really new for us. Maybe we're new to you, but this is not new to us.
