John Canton economics senior: bummed Wildcats lost, doesn't think they'll win next year either

It's back and better than ever!

Wildcat: My name is Kylee and you're on the spot. So tell me, when's the last time you choked on something?

Canton: I can't remember.

Wildcat: Well, did you happen to catch the Wildcats' basketball game this weekend?

Canton: Yep.

Wildcat: Are you all choked up about it?

Canton: I wouldn't say choked up. I'm a little butt-hurt about it.

Wildcat: Why?

Canton: 'Cause we definitely should not have lost to Illinois.

Wildcat: Do you think Hassan Adams will come back?

Canton: No.

Wildcat: Why not?

Canton: I just don't think so. He doesn't think he can win here.

Wildcat: Should Lute Olson?

Canton: Yes.

Wildcat: Why?

Canton: Because it wasn't his fault we lost.

Wildcat: So, do you think the game should have gone into overtime in the first place?

Canton: Yes, definitely.

Wildcat: Why?

Canton: Because it's more fun that way.

Wildcat: Do you think it would have been better if the Wildcats had lost earlier, rather than losing in the Elite Eight?

Canton: No, because it proved we actually got somewhere this season.

Wildcat: So, do you really care that they lost?

Canton: Not anymore.

Wildcat: Why not?

Canton: I don't know. I'm over it.

Wildcat: Do you think a big kiss would make all the players feel better?

Canton: No. I think they kiss each other enough.

Wildcat: What do you think would make them feel better then?

Canton: Ahh ... winning next year, I guess.

Wildcat: Do you think they have a chance at winning next year?

Canton: No.

Wildcat: Why not?

Canton: Everybody's graduating, you know.

Wildcat: OK ...

Canton: Is this really going to be in the paper?

Wildcat: Yes, it'll be on Page 2 tomorrow.

Canton: Yes! This is actually going to be the first time I'm going to appear in the paper without being in the police beat.
