The tournament is very open. People saw that we played a lot of people in the SEC, and when we did lose games, we didn't lose them bad -- like by one or two points. So, we were in every game. We have a lot of confidence going into this tournament.

ball fever good helps hurting knocking player shooting shots stomach today
My fever went down a little bit. My stomach is not hurting as bad. I was knocking some shots down today so that helps my confidence. I haven't been shooting the ball particularly well, so any player who hasn't been shooting well when you knock some shots in practice, that's a good sign.
good ncaa quality
LSU is a big rivalry. Something is always happening, but it's good basketball. The NCAA (tournament committee) has got to look at quality wins, so this is a must-win for us.
