Bird Blitz with Boo Richardson

July 25, 2006

GR: What is your earliest basketball memory?
BR: When I was in the third grade, we were down in Louisiana at a national tournament. The morning of a game, we went out and played miniature golf. I bent over to pick-up my ball and my teammate accidentally hit me in the eye with the golf club. My eye swelled up and later that night I played and ended up scoring 20 points.

GR: What was your reaction when you heard that your junior college teammate, Anthony Slack, was coming to Illinois State also?

BR: Tupac

GR: What are your early predictions about the 2006-07 Redbird basketball season?
