Yes, for sure, Wilson said. Its going to be an exciting thing.I met Chris a few years ago, and we were having a great conversation. ... Ive told you guys Ive been really authentic about wanting to own a team one day and being a part of something really special and doing that. And even though Im young, I definitely have a business mindset. And I want to be able to help people and give back and help change this community, continue to change this community for the better.Wilson was asked if hes willing to lobby city hall and Seattles mayor on behalf of the ownership group.Of course, Wilson said.

Really for the past year, Id say, [Ive] really kind of been really processing it and thinking about it and trying to understand, and trying to get information from the people of Seattle.Its such a great city. Its a financially prospering city, a place where we can change peoples lives and give new jobs and help people around the city. Its a great area, the SODO area. Its really, really special. Obviously you have the football stadium, CenturyLink, right there. You have the Mariners in Safeco [Field] right there too.And we want to bring a state-of-the-art facility there, too, an arena. So its exciting to me.

LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Coach Brendan Joyce admitted the Opals 61-56 victory over Turkey was anything but pretty.Still, it was good enough to give Australia a 2-0 win-loss record heading into Tuesdays key Olympic womens basketball clash with France and that was much more important than the aesthetic value of the contest.Liz Cambage played much of the tense final term with four fouls, while veteran Penny Taylor chipped in with a crucial five points when the match was on the line.Star centre Cambage top-scored for the second straight match, finishing with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Katie-Rae Ebzery and Leilani Mitchell chipped in with 11 points apiece.It probably doesnt look great on TV but we were really up against it, said Joyce.There was a lot of emotion in the first game, so there was always a danger of how we played that second game.We didnt get any 50-50 calls, we played through a lot of contact.We didnt have great defence from everybody on a consistent basis but it was a defensive slog and we won the game - and thats what matters right now.Cambage said it was important to adjust to varying interpreetations by referees from different countries. Scott Rolen Jersey. As long as its four fouls and not five Im OK with that, she said.Im just trying to do what I do, keep my hands out, try and change shots, not block shots.Joyce paid tribute to the contribution of veteran Penny Taylor when the contest was at its fiercest.Shes 35, so Ive got to try and reduce her minutes, but it was hard to do tonight, he said.When a game is on the line Im going to have Penny Taylor in the last quarter even if shes playing poorly in some respects in the first three quarters.She hadnt scored by three-quarter time, but she came up with a crucial five points that helped us put the game away.Lara Sanders had a game-high 25 points for Turkey. Australia trailed by three points at the end of the first and second quarters.Seven straight points from Cambage propelled Australia to a 43-41 lead after the third term.The Opals opened their Olympic campaign with an 84-66 win over Brazil on day one.
