It's obviously been a difficult day for me. Not only have I lost a great friend and mentor, but the game of basketball has lost one of its true pioneers. She not only made a huge difference in my life, but in the life of everyone associated with women's basketball.
It was great having your two best players back to lead everyone this summer.
I am who I am in no small part because of the role she has played in my life both as a coach and as a person. I feel a great sense of responsibility to carry on her legacy at LSU.
I think this has really been great for us, for the school and for the fans.
