Tisdale rarin' to go

"I think it's going to be awesome when he (incoming 7-footer Meyers Leonard) gets over here," Mike says. "Having somebody that tall and that strong - he's a stout kid - I think is really going to help me. I think he's going to be the best competition I've played. I think that's going to make us both better, honestly."

"Tiz has been here every day," Weber says, and it's true. Who knows if that translates into an All-Big Ten-caliber campaign or if the same weaknesses persist. But the senior has asserted himself like, well, a senior, and a coach can't ask for more.
