[su_spacer size=”40″] Said Manuel Diaz: “It feels great going to Waco and making the round of 16 for the 12th year in a row. We’ll get over there and get used to the facility. It’s probably a little windier than we are accustomed to, so we have to adapt to all of those things. We are looking forward to getting over there Monday morning.”
