Ladner:
Really feels good to be coming off a win
We were on our way to arena when found out game cancelled
I felt we had a gut check at the half. We didn't panic when they made some 3's. We extended our defense.
We passed the ball much better. We got open 3's and dunks with the fast break.
Hardy did what we needed all season and stepped up and played his butt off.
Tae did have size over his defender. I liked that when he started going, the team started to look at him. When someone has a hot hand, we need to get them the ball.
He had 2 TO early in 2nd half, and I coached him hard and he responded that is what your best players are supposed to do.
FAU hasn't played in a few weeks. Mays their coach is a guy who I have a lot of respect for. They are big and physical, and those teams give us problems. They have time to prepare for us.
We are going to have to beat them with effort and toughness. All of their cancelled games this season have been because of their opponents.
Draine and Weatherspoon will be playing their last games Friday and Saturday. Both are Southern Miss guys, smart, good students who graduated, and are like sons to me.
Driane looked maybe be coming out of his slump. I love this young man.
Clay is a leader on this team who does all the right things without much playing time.
I hope everyone comes out to help sends these young out with a win.
We want our basketball program to get to where the USM baseball program is.

Draine:
It is bittersweet, with last 2 games. Want to win last 2 games.
Me and coach are talking about next season after the season.
This team can be good, when we get a chance to practice all year, we can be really good.
With Covd we have had so much less time time to grow and that has rally made this season with new players more difficult.
I want to thank all the Southern Miss fans out there for their support of me and my team while I am here. (There will be more of this when video of interview comes out. This is something fans need to hear from him)
