Darnell Lazare Quotations

When we clown, we clown. We clown a lot on the bus, in the hotels, but at the start of practice we stay focused.

He put us on his back today -- getting rebounds, playing great defense and just being a great leader out there.

We knew they were a great defensive team coming into this. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We just couldn't get our shots to fall to keep it close.

That was huge in the game. We got in a hurry and panicked a little bit. We should have been more patient because we had enough time.

The whole game it felt like we were in control.

I knew this was possible. Louisiana has been a hot spot for high school basketball, and Baton Rouge has been producing a lot of Division I college basketball players. I knew here we would do something special. It was just a matter of time.
