Q. Why I Chose Boston University:

Q. Favorite class and why:
A- My favorite class would have to be Management class because that is what interests me the most and I find it very practical and interesting.

Q. The best thing about being a BU Terrier is:
A- You have a family of about 20 guys, 15 teammates and 5 coaches that will always be there for you no matter what happens.
Q. Most memorable moment as an athlete:
A- The one that is most recent in my memory is the four overtimes that we just played against Stony Brook. That was by far the longest game I have ever heard of. Every time we went up, they would come back and hit big shots and every time they went up, we would come back and tie it up. After the 2nd overtime it was almost funny.
Q. What I did this week as a student (classes, tests, projects, study hall):
A- Last week was the first week of school and since we had a game Wednesday night, I missed my first class of the semester. I had class on Thursday from 11am until 12:30pm and then again after practice from 6pm until 9pm. Friday we left for our game against Binghamton but I didn’t have class anyways.
Q. What I did this week as an athlete (practice, games):
A- After our game against New Hampshire on Sunday, we had a light practice on Monday and then had a lift after that. Tuesday we practiced for about two hours and prepared for our game on Wednesday against Vermont. Wednesday we had a shoot around from 2 until 3, then pregame meal and then our game started at 7. Thursday was a light practice again, being the day after a game, then we practiced in the morning on Friday before leaving for our game against Binghamton on Saturday.
Q. Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is:
A- Nobody can play the sport they love forever and since not many people end up playing professional sports, academics are extremely important.
Q. Why I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship:
A- I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship because I am looking forward to a chance to make it to the NCAA tournament.
