"Players and coaches plan to do plenty of work--and have a little fun--over the next 10 days.
Roy Williams lists his schedule like he's reciting dental appointments:
We get there Saturday at 2:00. We leave for practice at 3:30. We have to be back at 6:30 and we've got some deal at 7:00. Sunday we have a coaches' administrative meeting at 7 a.m. and a press conference at 8...We'll practice Sunday afternoon and we have a banquet that night."

It sounds like Quentin Thomas will get the start against Santa Clara while Ray Felton sits out one game due to a stupid suspension levied by the NCAA for participating in one lousy summer league game that wasn't sanctioned (no, I'm not bitter).
McCants is still trying to recoup from a slight muscle tear. I sure hope that gets healed up before the season gets in full gear. He won't have much time to rest it then.
This is an excellent sign:
"I left practice a couple Saturdays ago and thought, 'We're going to be pretty doggone good,'" [Roy] Williams said. "Not one practice did I ever have that kind of feeling last year."
