I do not support a single-payer system; I do support having something there, whether it's an option or not.

Bubba showed some signs, ... It took a little time for Donnie (Mattingly) to convince me that he was a different hitter.

Buffalo is playing really good basketball and it's not a fluke that they're 6-3 over their last nine games. One of the things that stands out about Buffalo is their shooting percentage.

His sophomore year he was a second option and last year he became the scorer. This year ... he's got a D-1 physique right now. He's probably the most complete player we've seen so far. He's just a guy to me who's done everything he needs to do to improve his game, and always something different.

He's become our No. 1 option on offense. This season, he has become better moving without the ball to get open shots. There are still times he settles for jump shots, but even if that is all he does, you'd still have a hard time with him because of the way he elevates.
