DARYLL:
Welcome back to "Shooting 3's With Daryll Hill."
I'm really excited about opening night tomorrow night. I think it's going to be a good experience for us. The freshman and everybody on the team are really fired up.
We've worked really hard to get ready for tomorrow night. It will be a big test for us because we played well in the exhibition game and the Red-White game, but now the lights are on and it's the real thing. It will be interesting to see how well we react. I think we have been preparing really well in practice. For the first few minutes we may be nervous, but I think we're going to come out playing hard for sure.
I get really hyped for games, especially for the first one of the season. It's like when you are a kid around Christmas-time and you keep waking up because you can't sleep, but your mom tells you to go back to bed and wait until the morning. The first game is always a special night, and it should be exciting for this one.
Today I'm going to go support our women's team at their game against Boston University, and then get some rest and get ready for tomorrow. We hope to see you all there.
As always, thanks for checking out "Shooting 3's With Daryll Hill." Talk to you next week, and we'll hopefully see you at the game.
-- Daryll
