certainly expense goal healthy ncaa players playing round team
We want to play well, but certainly not at the expense of playing players that aren't healthy. Our goal is for our team to be healthy for the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
expect market money seen taking
We've seen a lot of index money come into the market and I expect that to continue, taking us higher.
letting loving players serious team wrong
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion.
difficulty grass impatience players today work
The impatience of young players today is unfortunate. Sometimes the grass is not always greener. Sometimes it's better for a young person to work through some difficulty as Darnell has. Now it comes back to him twofold, tenfold maybe.
early final graduate hit improved league leave ourselves people players proven talent teams took year
Our league took a hit from people early because we had so many players graduate and so many players leave early (for the NBA), but this was a league with a lot of young talent and with some outstanding coaches. Our league improved as the year went along, and with two teams in the Final Four, I think we've proven ourselves to be a lot better league than people thought we'd be.
carolina north talking
I don't know why everybody's talking about me going to North Carolina State. I never said I was going there.
seniors supposed
That is what seniors are supposed to do.
excited tigers
The LSU Tigers are 12-2 and are in first place all by themselves. They were excited about that.
benchmark coach looked program
I never looked at this as a benchmark for our program or a benchmark for me as a coach or a benchmark for our players.
last quick
He was 338 last season, ... We said he was at 320, but we lied. Now he's at 306 or 312. Really. He was quick last year. At 310, he's like nimble quick.
question
He's been hampered by that a little bit. But there's no question that we wouldn't be where we're at now without Darrell Mitchell.
deeper fans high school seen
I think it translates into your fans having a deeper connection, maybe, having seen (the Tigers) play in high school and now at LSU.
coaching junior likes special
He's a special freshman. He's like coaching a junior already. He soaks it up like a sponge. He likes being here.
college drafted either high kids prep school window year
I think it does nothing. It's window dressing. You either come to college for a year or you go to a prep school. How many high school kids got drafted anyway? A handful? So I don't think it does anything to help.
