You'd be forward if you saw him, too. Mark Zoller, College senior and Quaker forward gives us a little peak inside the brain of a baller. He's really nice.
Steet: Do you have a lucky number?
Mark Zoller: Two and four. Of course, that's why I wear 24.
Street: Speaking of 24 ... would you rather be or marry Jack Bauer?
MZ: Obviously be Jack Bauer since Jack Bauer never retreats, he just attacks in the opposite direction.
Street: Are you superstitious?
MZ: I'll pick up a heads-up penny if I see it.
Street: Do you have any pre-game rituals?
MZ: I always have to put my shoes and socks on a certain way before games: left sock before the right, and then right shoe before the left shoe. If I forget I'll start over. Also, I don't put my jersey on until right before the game.
Street: In a lot of movies and TV shows you see basketball or football coaches who make their teams go to ballet or yoga class to learn how to move. Do you have any "alternative movement" experience?
MZ: To be honest, yes. We took a Pilates class as a team my sophomore year.
Street: When you're in the paper, do you save copies?
MZ: I don't really save too many papers, but my Mom is obsessive with it. She'll buy every paper in Philly after game days. There are boxes of newspapers in my house at home with newspaper clippings from high school and college.
Street: What do you see when you look in the mirror?
MZ: Me.
Street: Anything else we should know?
MZ: I am a godfather to my niece, Courtney, who is 7.
