Syracuse, NY. -- The edge in Syracuse women's basketball coach Quentin Hillsman's voice Tuesday afternoon was a factor of far more than just the massive rebuilding job that awaits his team.
That project can be approached with pace and a plan, and almost relished.
No, by mid-day Hillsman was already feeling overwhelmed by the arrival of Halloween, and it didn't sound like the anxiety was going to lessen any time before nightfall.
"I'm stressed out. I've got two kids I've got to take trick-or-treating. I'm trying to figure out do I take them to the neighborhood or take them to the mall, the easy way out,'' he said after practice.
