Usually nothing interesting on the first two rounds...

But here are some quotes from the LSU Press Conference

http://www.lsusports.net/pdf2/118579.pdf?ATCLID=1416614&SPSID=27830&SPID=2167&DB_OEM_ID=5200

Q. Coach, you don't have any pull to
get this game tipped off a little earlier? What's
up with 9:30? Does that make things more
difficult to plan for?
COACH CHANCELLOR: I said since I
came to LSU I have not let age be in my thought
process. But when I was 44 years old, 9:30 at
night was late. And at 64 years old, it is real late. I
will probably come to the arena at halftime of the
first game to take a little nap so I can get ready to
play in the second game.
I would like to have played at 11:00
tomorrow and get it over with and I don't have to
worry with it all day. I will say this, I did T.V. last
year, I had this team in Austin, Texas. T.V. is just
like taking candy away from a baby. It's easy.
There is no pressure on you.
Coaching, at LSU, they don't want you to
win but all the games. They are with you win or tie
on the other ones. Just remember that....
9:30 at night is
perfect for players. That's when they go out when
they are not playing ball. Are you kidding me?
Let's get serious. It takes them all of that time to
get ready to go out.
You didn't know I knew that, did you, Q? I
coached pro players. You forgot, that didn't you?

Q. Coach, you talked about the time off
of the SEC game and this tournament. You
were out of the college game for so long, are
there things that you are still learning, having
to come back as memory from the past
experience this year? Something like that,
along that line?
COACH CHANCELLOR: It don't seem like
it was as long as you seem to think it was, okay? I
don't mean that bad. It seems like it was
yesterday.
As far as the college experience, that kind
of come back like if you hadn't ridden a bike in ten
years. I just jumped on the bike and started riding.
The only thing I had any trouble with was just
learning this team offensively. I left it alone
defensively. I just experimented with some things,
and I think that cost us the Rutgers game, in my
mind, I really do. I went with some things that I
should not have changed, I went back and
rechanged.

Q. Girls, can you talk about this, and
then, Van, I want your thoughts, your senior
season, the eight of you have been together for
so long. You have been through so much, had
so much success. Along comes a 64-year-old
guy, kind of ruining --
COACH CHANCELLOR: I was 63 at the
time. I thought I would tell you.

And the most interesting one:

Q. Didn't y'all practice cutting down the
nets for the Final Four coming up this year?
Didn't y'all do that? It leads to my question,
how long has it been a mind-set of trying to get
there and get forward, not just with this first
game, a lot of teams focus on the first game.
You guys have won first games, second, third,
fourth game. How much is it part of the
mind-set of getting into the tournament and
getting all the way this time?
ERICA WHITE: Coach is a winner, he's
proven that, WNBA and USA Basketball. I think
the first day he got here, like I said, he has been
focused on us taking us to the next level.
Championship is the next level he is talking about.
Like he said, from day one, he got here we
cut down the nets as a team. He said, we won't do
that again unless we are cutting down the nets for
the national championship.
In that moment he was trying to instill in us
a mentality that we're here to win this from day
one. And every year, we win the regional -- we win
our regional game and we cut down the nets and
we celebrate. And I pray that we win this year.
But we probably won't cut down that net. We're
looking for a national championship net this time
around.
So I think he is just trying to change our
mentality about winning

In the game right before ours, the Marist Red Foxes (love that mascot for a womens team ) went on a 32 to 2 run to go from down 10 points to a route over Depaul.
