To improve it. And I'm just happy tonight. It's fallen a little bit. Ball handling seems to be improving. Thank you. That's something, too, that I vastly need to work on a whole lot. And so this year I've had the chance to play guard some, and naturally, just practicing a little bit gives me a little more confidence in myself. And so when game time comes, I try to do a good job with it. Obviously, you haven't had a chance to play a whole bunch this year. They've pretty well been going with the first seven guys, and then you fall into the next five. That's got to be a little bit disappointing. How do you get yourself up for each game? Well, I think the thing about it is I just need to prepare myself to be ready for when the time comes when I'm to come on the court. Like, you never know who's going to be in foul trouble and how far down the depth we need to come in. Like, I just prepare myself mentally for every game, and. And when I come in, I have confidence in myself that I can do the good job. And I'm just glad tonight I had the opportunity to do that. I think the important thing about it is I know I'm no Avery Parish or Ricky Henry or Brent Stephenson. I accept that and just try to do the things I can do to the best of my ability. You've had some times where you played in key situations. I'm thinking at one time in the Valley of the sun tournament, where you came and gave Dan Bell a breather. A much needed breather. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, that's what I mean. I never know exactly when I'm going to be coming in, and so I just need to be ready and try to do a good job when I do come in. You and Brent Wade have played on teams that have not lost the conference game in two years, is that right? That's quite an achievement. Thank you. Yeah, I've thought about that myself. It is fortunate to be a part of such good teams as I've been on. I just kind of feel like I'm in the right place at the right time to be on the two teams. This may be unfair. Would you like to compare the two teams? Well, I thought about it quite a bit. Both teams, I feel, had a lot of depth. Both teams, we had a few good forwards like we do this year, and we had some good guards. I think the thing about this team, though, is we have a truly good big guy like Brent Stephenson, whereas the team before we had a Mostly smaller team. We went with really three forwards. Now we have Brent Stephenson, who's the best center in the conference plans after Dixie College. What would you like to do? I'm kind of leaning towards PE as a major, but next year. I'm still undecided as to where I'm going or what I'm going to be doing. I've thought a lot about it, but I haven't come to any conclusions yet. I understand you have an opportunity to become a rich farmer, too. I guess I could if I did go for it again. That's something I have to think more about. Rob, the highlight of your career at Dixie, what has been the most meaningful thing for you in your two years of playing for Dixie? Well, I first have to say to Kansas, back my first year here, we went back to Kansas and took sixth in the nation. That was quite an honor. And I know if that team took six, then this team can at least take that. And we hope to go back and even do a better job than that team did. Long ways to go yet. Yeah, it is. We gotta have a lot of breaks going our way, too. Like, I think every championship team needs to have a few breaks going for them. Rob Gentry, thank you for being with us. Congratulations on a good year so far, both as a team and a member of this team, and also individually. Thank you, Larry. Rob Gentry, who had a good night tonight, an excellent night.
