He gave me a look before he shot them that didn't make me feel too comfortable. He frowned. |
He has really helped us and been a good backup point guard, but we have got to get him back playing well. I challenged him after the Mississippi State game. He has lost some of his aggressiveness. He was attacking, knocking down shots and running the team. The last few games he has not played as many minutes as we need him to play. |
He was good, not great. You could tell he had not had live action in the last two games. But I saw some aggressiveness. |
He'll go down to me as one of the quietest, toughest guys in our league. To me, he's the player of the year in our league. Glen definitely has the numbers, but when you move a guy to a new position and he's exceptional at it, that's pretty special to me. |
He's always done what LSU is looking for. To me, he's the Player of the Year in this league. Glen definitely has the numbers, but what Darrel has done is pretty special. |
He's been given more opportunities and he's taking advantage of that. So it will be exciting for him to go back, but I don't think it means as much as his freshman and sophomore year. I think it's big to him, but it's not like he's not going to sleep before the game or be all intense about it. He wants to win because I think Bam just wants to win. |
He's really good at catching and scoring with the basketball. I don't think we've gotten it to him enough; I would like our kids to find him a little more. He has made it easy for us, and I've really focused on our offense this year, which is why I think that our defense is what needs improvement now. |
I coached today like I always coach. I was coaching to win and that is what I am going to do. I will reflect on what has happened after this is all over. I don't have time for that right now. We cannot allow what has happened or what will happen distract from what we are doing. |
I didn't look out there today and think we were overmatched. Without the turnovers, I don't know how many other teams would beat us. |
I don't know about ending the streak. We just want to come out and continue to play well. |
I expect him to be back. He won't get a chance to work out with us, but we expect to have him back in uniform. |
I had a job to do. And as tough as this has been for all of us with this team over the past couple of weeks, I was going to go out there and do my job, giving it all I had. My word is my bond. I gave my word to my guys. |
I just thought they played better than we did, it snowballed and we couldn't stop them. |
I think Coach Pearl has done a great job. There's a lot of excitement at Tennessee and their kids are playing hard and playing well. It's become one of the toughest places to go and play. |
I think our defense is what needs improvement now. |
