God didn't give me the talent to play in college or at the professional level. But I do feel He gave me an incredible mind for the sport, which isn't really helpful unless I want to bug everyone I am watching a game with or I'm going to be a sports writer.

At least I'm not wasting what I do have.

When the men's basketball team takes the court Saturday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, it will be the last time in front of the home crowd for two seniors.

Forwards Kevin Langford and John Ortiz said they want to end their career at the coliseum with a win.

"Right now it feels like any other game coming up," Langford said. "That might change on game day. But sometimes you don't want it to end, playing college basketball has been pretty fun."

Many refrain from seeking therapy or counseling because of the social stigma attached to mental health problems, but more people are struggling with those issues than students may realize.
