Feb. 18, 2002

Well, we just got done with practice and we're getting ready to leave for Texas. I don't have a lot of time, so I will make this short and sweet. I think we are ready to attack our last three games of the regular season and our practices are still very intense and sharp.

	Stacey Dales was the 2000-01 Big 12 Player of the Year.

We were all very happy with our win over Nebraska last weekend at home. It's always a good feeling to beat a team by 34 points and it really makes a statement about the team and the program. Another good thing is that everyone got a chance to play. All of the girls work so hard in practice that it's nice to see them rewarded with some playing time.

Last weekend was also a fun one because I got to spend some time with my fiancé, Chris. It's my pre-game ritual before every home game to go and eat at J.J.'s Pizza on the night before the game. Then Chris and I go to Rusty's Custard for dessert. On Friday, we also rented the movie "Blow." It was pretty good and it was based on a true story. Then on Sunday, Chris and I went to see "A Beautiful Mind." That was a great movie. So I got to take a little bit of time and step away from school and basketball, which is nice to do every once in a while.

Now, back to basketball. Right now I'm just playing in the moment. We have three regular-season games left and our season is far from being over. We have high hopes for the NCAA Tournament and the Final Four. My parents will be here on Senior Night, which is on Feb. 27 when we play Texas Tech. We have two more games before we get there, though, with Texas and Missouri on the road. Like I've said all season long, you can never overlook any opponent and I firmly believe that.

I hope to see a big crowd for our last home game. It's a week from Wednesday!

Go Sooners!
