I’m so thankful for so many of my teammates & coaches reaching out to encourage me. My high school coach, Walt Kaser, has reached out to me and given me his thoughts before/after each of our NCAA games. Thankful to these men for their investment in me.
He's guided @ORUMBB to the Sweet 16. Looking back at @CoachMills' days in Houston. @KHOUSportsMatt learned Paul's flashy ball-handling skills earned him the name "White Chocolate," says a former teammate. #khou11

I tell our team often that Francis Lacis is the BEST teammate they will likely ever have the privilege of having on their team during their basketball careers. Francis has trusted this process from the first day he stepped on campus at ORU. His CARE FACTOR is through the roof!.
The @marchmadness begins tomorrow for @ORUMBB when they face @OhioStateHoops. Golden Eagles Forward @FrancisLacis journey to Indianapolis has been his life goal since he was a kindergartener and now he is making that goal a reality.
