LSU is the team to beat in the entire SEC, not just in the West. ... As long as they stay healthy and avoid an injury, they're as good as anybody around.
Rod's done a good job with this team. They're much improved.
Our team is not very good right now. It's been one thing after another with us. There's no magical speeches after that game.
We're going to play a very good team that has one of the best front courts in this league. It won't be very easy for us.
The pluses are that (Gordon) is a good player. He is going to be one of the better players in the league. If he gains more experience he will be really good, he has had some difficult times and has been providing good leadership as a freshman.
We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort.
Both young men are good people, but unfortunately things just didn't work out for them here. We wish them both well in their future endeavors.
They've continued to work hard and good things happen to them.
This is a difficult thing we're going through. We're not used to this. The kids can very easily get down, quit working and have attitudes, but this team didn't do it. We took a very good Ole Miss team tonight and did something to them that no one's done to them.
It's very obvious that we're not quite as good without Lawrence Roberts. But we knew coming into this game that we didn't have him, so we can't make any excuse.
The good thing is, there is a system in place where you can't make mistakes.
It's going to be difficult. We're going to play a really good basketball team. But we're looking forward to playing them.
