Whether we play Winthrop or Louisiana Tech or (future opponents) Temple or (North Carolina) State, the players realize we schedule very, very good basketball teams and we've got to play at a high level every night.
beaten bottom east line teams three top
We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.
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.

We knew they'd make a run, come back at us a little bit. They're too good of a team, too well coached, but our guys were able to respond to their run and extend the lead back up there.

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.

We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.

LSU is one of the better teams in the country. Their front line is tremendous.

We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.

You're just excited to be playing, first of all. Obviously, I know Tom well.
