country front line teams
LSU is one of the better teams in the country. Their front line is tremendous.
We got what we wanted. It just didn't go down.

We're going to leave this game here - we're not taking this one with us. We didn't play very well today, and Mississippi State was terrific.
contact except minimal prevent shortened smart trying
We've shortened our practices. We don't really do anything to prevent injury, except doing minimal contact drills, but other than that we're just trying to be smart about how we go about practice.
best jump lost overcame player shot sweet
We're 7-6, lost our best player and we're a jump shot away from being in the Sweet 16. They overcame a lot.
defending good job struggle teams time
I think teams have done a good job of defending him a little better. And he's not Superman. He's human. He's going to struggle from time to time. That's just part of it. He'll be fine.
options room
Our options are limited, and we know that. We have very little room for error.

balance ball defense difference good half job kept minutes second taking tonight
The difference tonight was the defense in the first 15 minutes of the second half. I thought Auburn kept us off balance in the first half with the 1-3-1 zone. We weren't taking good shots. We didn't do a good job getting the ball around the basket. We didn't do a lot of things well.
chuck great player players
Chuck is a great player for us. But we have some other players that are great for us too.
chuck gives lead positive roll start team though today winning
Chuck will still lead this team even though he'll be on the sidelines. Winning always gives you a lot of confidence. We are going to start today and we are not going to roll over. We are not going to make excuses, pout and whine. We are going to buckle down, be positive with one another and play.

I think it gave him some confidence and he got to see where he stacked up. He had a great year this year, and he's improved every year he's been here.
basketball became chance continue excited good graduate leader mature nation next past premier team track
I think it's a good decision. I think he's got a chance to be one of the premier forwards in the nation next season. He became a leader on our basketball team this past season, and I think he'll continue to mature as a player. And I'm also excited because he's on track to graduate next spring.
pickup principles talking
I think the carryover is that the pickup games, when we're not present, are better, ... They're talking about principles defensively.
