They are going to be great pros. But if they leave this year, they will sit on the bench and never play and never get a great second contract. They stay one more year and they'll play right away and have a great second contract. That's what it's all about in the pros -- getting a great second contract. And if you sit on the bench like Kwame Brown did, you're not going to get it. One more year and these guys will be ready for the next level.

We played with a great effort tonight. Our hustle was outstanding. We played terrific first-half defense. Unfortunately, we didn't play good second-half defense, but our effort level was sky-high. Guys were really energized to perform well. They know what's around the corner. They know we have to improve.

Louisville, another popular office-pool pick, led by a measly point, 33-32, at the half. The Cardinals did win, 68-62, but not before trailing by a point in the final minutes. One might think there's a big difference between Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisville, basketball royalty the last 25 years. But there's not much of one. I told them during halftime, ... that if they think they're going to pull away from Lafayette they're mistaken. I told them it was going to come down to the final two minutes.

You've got to understand what he means to our basketball team. We're one of the youngest teams in America. He's the heart and soul of our team. You take away the heart and soul of our team and we still played those top 10 teams tough without him. So we can't complain about that. That's the breaks of the game -- injuries.
