You said you saw the interview with Women's basketball player, Sara Stevenson, on GoRedbirds.com. One of the questions posed to her was "If you were to ever date any one player on the ISU men's basketball team, who would it be?" Her response happened to be Greg Dilligard. So my question to you is, would she be your pick of someone to date off of the Women's basketball team?
GD: Sara is cool. I can see that, but not since I have a girlfriend. That would get me in trouble.
