What's your favorite hangout on campus?
-I like going out to eat at Loring Pasta Bar. I think it's really affordable and it's got a fantastic atmosphere.

What's your favorite place on campus?
-Besides the Barn, nothing is better than Frisbee at the River Flats on a warm spring day.

Who is your favorite current Gopher? Why?
-Lawrence Westbrook's my boy. We're the same age and know each other from Sanford Hall last year, not to mention he is as explosive as anybody on the team, has got a sexy stroke from beyond the arc, and is an all out warrior. He may be one of the smallest guys on the team, but his heart more than compensates for that. He gets after every loose ball and is easily our most tenacious and aggressive defender.

Who is your favorite former Gopher? Why?
-Bobby Jackson was a great leader and took us to our most recent Final Four. He's playing at the next level so it's nice to follow him and his success and know he's a Gopher.

Which Big Ten opponent do you most like watching us beat?
-Beating Wisconsin is the best because I get bragging rights back home.

Who is your favorite opposing coach in the Big Ten?
-John Beilein of Michigan was great when he coached West Virginia, and I think he is going to do good things at Ann Arbor in the future, which makes me nervous.However, Bo Ryan is a great dancer, and he looks like the Green Goblin from Spider Man.

Who is your least favorite coach in the Big Ten?
-There is something about Bruce Weber that I cannot stand. I think it has something to do with his annoying voice.

Who do you think is going to win the national title?
-It's hard to tell because there are a lot of sensational freshman out there who are making a huge impact on their teams, but historically it takes experience to win in March; Florida rode it's experience to two titles. UNC, Kansas, Memphis, and Georgetown all have tournament tested players who have been close and are hungrier than ever, and I predict this will be the Final Four.

What are you most looking forward to this season in the Barnyard?
-This is the year we are going to make some noise in the Big Ten, and I think we are much more talented than the experts have given us credit for so far. We are going to sneak up on some teams, and we are going to beat some very good teams.

What is your favorite Gopher sports memory?
-Ohio State last season. It was surreal to stand next to Greg Oden.
