I enjoy the NIT. I don't know if anyone wants their legacy to be he was a great NIT coach, but by the same token, when you're given the opportunity to play in the tournament, you're excited about it.
More Quotes from Dave Odom:
You have to be concerned with him on the perimeter and not come down on guys like Morris and Bobby Perry. You have to stay out on him. That is particularly difficult for a team like us that does not have a lot of size. We have to find a way to guard on the perimeter and on the inside at the same time.Dave Odom
You have to be concerned with him. You can't come down on guys like Randolph Morris and the other giants, and you've got to stay out on them. It is particularly difficult with a team like ours with not a lot of size. We have got to find a way to guard on the perimeter as well as inside at the same time.

I'm not going to give him up easily.

Well, obviously our team played very well. I think both teams played really well. For the third game in a row, we opened with a deficit. Guys kept their poise and composure. Came back, tied the game, and went ahead.
Dave Odom
We've had an excellent two days of practice and I think our team is in about as good a frame of mind as it has been in a long time. I think the pressure of the regular season took its toll on us and now that's over. Everybody starts fresh and anew.
Dave Odom
I don't think it is an elimination game (from the NCAA) for either team. I think it is an important game. If Kentucky wins, certainly it gives them a leg up (over us) because they will have beat us twice. But there is still too much basketball to be played for both teams to say this is an elimination game.
