Bojan Popovic, a retailing major
from Belgrade, Yugoslavia,
said the shock of graduation
hasn't hit him yet.
"I really like basketball and
college," Popovic said. "I still
don't realize that this is it. It's
about over."
Jeff Roulston, a graduate student
working on his masters in
business administration, appreciates
the opportunity he was given
to play at the collegiate level.
"No one thought I could play
at this level," Roulston said. "I
thought that I was the best when
I left high school. When I played
my first pick-up game here with
these guys, I realized I needed to
improve my game. I think I've
showed people I can play at this'
level."
