There are times during a game when we have five freshmen on the floor. I don't know if there's a younger basketball team in the country at this level.

They are very smart, very tough, good basketball players who know what they are doing. They are a dangerous team in that they can score baskets easily at any given time.

To question whether Dave Odom can coach a basketball game, that's ludicrous.

I'm not pursuing other jobs, but I'm in no hurry to decide anything right now. I'm confident that the people who make those decisions will take care of them. My only request is to be dealt with fairly in terms of salary and a strong commitment to the basketball program.

College basketball is something, isn't it? I thought we had the game won on a couple of different occasions when we had 14-point leads. We made some careless turnovers. For about a six minute stretch, we didn't make the proper decisions to close the game out.

That first 20 minutes was as good as I've had a team play. We looked like a real basketball team for 20 minutes.

If you don't hold your team accountable then you will lose credibility and your team will be spoiled.

You get what you tolerate!

What we do at LSU is to develop players and make them better.
