3 John Brady Head Coach 10th Year When John Brady first put a team on the floor of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, his Tiger squad was undermanned, undersized and underdogs. Teams hated to play the Tigers then because John Brady coached his team hard and they responded with several strong performances against the leagues top teams, but not many wins. Now entering his 10th year as the head coach at LSU, John Brady has coached the LSU team as only he knows how -- with heart and passion, and knowledge of the game that makes him one of the best at in-game decisions. The LSU Tigers, in 2006, won the SEC regular season title with a 14-2 record and won the Western Division for the second straight year. LSU has won 26 SEC games the last two years, the most in the league in that period and LSU concluded the season with 17 straight SEC home wins, the most in the 35-year history of the Maravich Assembly Center. In the process Brady was recognized for his coaching job for the second time as the SEC Coach of the Year. LSU has advanced to postsason play each of the last five years and six times in the last seven seasons. LSU has had five consecutive winning seasons under John Brady and only three times in the program history has there been longer consecutive years of winning. In the last seven seasons, LSU has won 141 games, an average of 20 a year. Three times John Brady has coached the SEC Player of the Year (Glen Davis-2006, Brandon Bass-2005, Stromile Swift-2000) and he has coached four SEC Freshman of the Year (Tyrus Thomas-2006, Glen Davis-2005, Brandon Bass-2004, Torris Bright-2000). Brady s 167 wins in nine seasons is the third most wins by an LSU basketball coach and only two LSU basketball coaches have served longer tenures. John Brady has built a program at LSU with a record of success that is hard to argue with. He has given the LSU program the direction to grow and the chance to shine again. When Brady arrived on campus in March 1997 and was given the job of rebuilding the program, make no mistake; he knew his program would be riddled wtih shortcomings because of NCAA-imposed sanctions. He knew he would have the chance to build a foundation based on responsbility and accountability. Brady s knowledge of the game and his belief in discipline and responsibility for actions on and off the floor have made the LSU program strong again, one that LSU fans are proud of because they feel a part of the program. Brady s plan isn t just taking place on a hardwood floor in the Maravich Center. He has worked hard to show the public that that athletic and academic pursuits of the players should be challenged to the fullest. That s part of the reason that LSU basketball is not only a success on the court, but in the classroom as well. Hours are passed and posted toward graduation on a regular basis by scholarship players. The team, despite missing nearly four weeks of school during the SEC and NCAA Final Four run, averaged a 3.01 GPA during the spring semester. Brady came to LSU after six highly successful seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. In his six-year tenure ( ), he turned the team into a consistent winner, posting a record of In Brady s six years at Samford, the team had three first-team and five secondteam all-league selections. Now at LSU, the numbers are beginning to work for Brady both on and off the floor, with 15 players earning All-SEC honors, 32 earning All- SEC academic honors and 15 who have received their degrees from LSU. The 52-year-old Brady is the father of two daughters (Brittany-16, Brooke-12) and is married to the former Misty Champagne. The LSU program is now solid both athletically and academically. The top players in the country are seriously putting LSU at the top of their lists and Brady is earning the respect of his peers throughout the nation. The plan to bring LSU back to being a constant player at the top of the SEC and the nation has been accomplished and now the work is being done to keep LSU there for years to come.

Florida got 63 of the 72 first-place votes and 1,788 total points to be ranked No.1, with North Carolina getting the other nine first-place markers and 1,704 points for second. Kansas is third and Pittsburgh is in front of LSU in fourth. Tigers Fall In Rankings After Wichita State Loss LSU remained in the fourth set of polls issued this year by the media (AP) and coaches, but dropped four spots from 6th to 10th in the AP poll and 6th to 12th in the coaches poll. The difference in LSU's ranking is that Duke and Washington were placed ahead of LSU in the coaches' poll, and after LSU in the AP media poll. Florida is fourth in both polls, Alabama is sixth (AP) and seventh (ESPN/USA Today) and Dec. 5 opponent Texas A&M is eighth in the coaches' poll. Some Rankings Numbers LSU's loss on Nov. 25 to Wichita was just its second in 15 games as the No. 6 ranked team in the AP poll, after its two wins as the No. 7 team raised LSU's record to 14-4 at that ranking. The LSU-Wichita State game marked the 64th game LSU played when both teams were ranked in the Associated Press poll LSU is when both teams were ranked in the poll Overall LSU is when ranked in the Associated Press poll LSU is 19-6 as a 10th-ranked team in the Associated Press poll. Davis Earns First-Team Preseason A-A Honors LSU junior forward Glen Davis was named preseason All-American by the Associated Press Tuesday on a team that featured three Southeastern Conference players. Davis, a first-team Wooden All-American last season and a second-team AP All-American a year ago, joins Joakim Noah of Florida and Ronald Steele of Alabama in making first-team A-A. Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina and Brandon Rush of Kansas round out the first five. Davis (who led the SEC in scoring and rebounding a year ago to earn Player of the Year honors), Noah and Steele are all juniors, while Hansbrough and Rush are sophomores. Hansbrough was named on 65 of the 72 media ballots, one more than Noah. Steele received 55 votes, while Davis had 51 and Rush 26. UCLA junior guard Arron Affalo was the next-leading vote getter with 20. Since the AP preseason team started in , Davis is just the third player from LSU to make the first five, joining Chris Jackson in and Shaquille O'Neal prior to the season. Ronald Dupree is the only other LSU player to have been mentioned on a ballot, prior to the season. Davis Adds Naismith, Wooden Preseason Honor To Wooden Preseason Nod Glen Davis added his place on the Naismith Preseason Watch List to his earlier nod by the Wooden Award committee to that list. The Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, comprised of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators, compiled the Top 50 list for the Naismith Trophy presented by Cingular Wireless. The board based its preseason criteria on player performances from last season and expectations for the season... Of the 50 players including Davis, 10 are from the Southeastern Conference. Temple On Bilas List Of Best Defenders LSU sophomore Garrett Temple was one of several players on a season-opening list by ESPN analyst Jay Bilas noting the best defenders in the country at this time of the year... Four other SEC players are on

7 the list of Corey Brewer, Florida; Joakim Noah, Florida; Ronald Steele, Alabama; and Mike Mercer, Georgia... Temple earned his reputation as a defender with his effort limiting J. J. Redick of Duke in the Tigers' Sweet 16 upset. Brady Third LSU Coach To Win Multiple SEC Titles John Brady's second SEC championship in 2006 made him one of three LSU coaches to win SEC regular season honors and all three have multiple titles: Harry Rabenhorst , 1953, 1954 Dale Brown , 1981, 1985, 1991 John Brady , 2006 Brady In Elite Company Brady's two SEC titles makes him one of just 15 coaches in SEC history to have won at least two SEC regular season titles joining Adolph Rupp (27), Joe Hall (8), Tubby Smith (5), Dale Brown and Babe McCarthy (4), Ray Mears, C. M. Newton and Harry Rabenhorst (3) and Brady, Billy Donovan, Eddie Fogler, Rick Pitino, Nolan Richardson, Ray Skinner and John Mayer (2). As far as Western Division championships, only three coaches -- Tubby Smith (7), Rick Pitino and Nolan Richardson (4) have won more division titles than John Brady... Billy Donovan is the other coach to have won three division titles. Brady Solo Top 25 On SEC All-Time Coaching List John Brady enters the game with 170 career wins at LSU, 25th best in the history of the SEC in wins and the third highest win total of any of the active league coaches... Brady with the McNeese win, moved away from a tie with Babe McCarthy (Miss. State, ) and Emmett Lowery (Tennessee, ) in to the solo 25th spot... Brady needs one more win to move to 24th position with the namesake of Georgia's arena, former coach Harold Stegman ( ), who won 171 games... Brady's win percentage of 60.3 puts him 26th all-time among SEC coaches all-time in win percentage. GlenBigBaby.Com Debuts The website designed to promote LSU basketball player Glen Davis of the men's team was launched by the LSU Athletics Department. The website, along with Bigsyl34.com for LSU women's player Sylvia Fowles, was created to promote the two for National Player of the Year honors as well as All- America honors. Davis, a 6-9 junior forward from Baton Rouge, was a first-team All-America selection and the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year last season and is a candidate for the John R. Wooden Award as well as being a preseason All-American by numerous publications. The site features Davis' biography, honors, photos, videos, quotes about Davis and quotes from Davis, his career statistics and the Tigers' roster and schedule. The sites were designed by Peter Hoang and Jason Feirman of the LSU publication's office and will be maintained and updated throughout the season by the sports information department. Glen Davis The Baton Rouge junior has opened the season by continuing his string of 44 consecutive double figure scoring games dating back to the final four games of his freshman season in 2005, each of the 36 games of the season and the first four games of Davis did not have a great shooting game against Wichita (11/25), but still managed his first double-double of the season and his 30th career double up with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Davis has started 69 consecutive games after coming off the bench in the first game of his freshman season... In a year when three of the Associated Press first-team preseason All-Americans were from the SEC, Davis will be trying to post back-to-back player of the year honors in the league for the first time since Corliss Williamson of Arkansas was named player of the year in both 1994 and LSU's Pete Maravich was a three-time AP Player of the Year, while Chris Jackson was a consensus POY in 1989 and 1990 followed by Shaquille O'Neal in 1991 and This season Davis is averaging 18.5 points per game and 9.0 rebounds... That ranks Davis first in the league in scoring after Wednesday's games, ahead of Chris Lofton of Tennessee at He is presently tied for third in the league in rebounds... Despite making just 10-of-25 field goal attempts his last two games, Davis is 24-of-45 for the year or 53.3 percent, good enough for seventh in the league... One noticeable thing is the forward's free throw shooting, especially on a night when he struggles from the field but goes 9-of-11 at the stripe... For the season, Davis is 25-of-34 or 73.5 percent, far and away his best start and his best percentage at the line. Davis is also making moves on both the school career scoring, rebounding and blocks charts... He presently stands 20th in rebounds, 27th in scoring and 8th in blocks in a career and those charts can be found on a later list box in the notes. One interesting number to watch may be the assists column this season. As Davis is forced to face double-teams and gimmick defenses, he may be called on more to pass to teammates or try to find a pass for a TIGER TRENDS LSU RECORD BRADY ERA In November In December In January In February In March In April 0-1 LSU vs. AP Ranked Opponents At home On the road 3-24 Neutral 7-5 LSU s Record in Games...

State Emmett Lowery, Tennessee Rick Stansbury, Miss. State Mark Godfried, Alabama 167 more open shot... So far Davis has had at least two assists in every game and is averaging 2.8 assists per game. Dameon Mason One of the toughest things for a transfer to do is to be ready and sharp when they step on the court for the first time after a year on the sidelines because of the NCAA transfer rules. But Dameon Mason, a lifetime for him removed from his last game in March 2005, made a good impression on fans in the two exhibition games against EA Sports (11/9) and Louisiana College (11/15). Mason averaged a co-team high 15.5 points in the two exhibition games, hitting 12-of-17 field goal attempts while grabbing 12 rebounds with eight assists... The most important line came in the game against Louisiana College when he had seven assists and no turnovers in 36 minutes of play. Mason had his first regulation double figure game for LSU against Louisiana-Monroe (11/19) scoring 10 points... He is averaging 25.8 minutes per game after starting all four games at the two-guard spot... Mason is 13-of-27 from the field and hit 2-of-3 treys against McNeese State (11/29). Brady Era Stats Since the John Brady coaching era has reached the 10th season, the crack research team has gone back and compiled career numbers for the players in the Brady era. Here are some of the numbers: When Glen Davis topped the 1,100 mark at the start of this season, he became the sixth Brady era player to score more than 1,100 points in his LSU career joining Ronald Dupree ( ), Darrel Mitchell ( ), Torris Bright ( ), Antonio Hudson ( ) and Collis Temple III ( )... Davis presently has the best career scoring average of any player in the Brady era at 16.4 a game ahead of Maurice Carter's 15.8 for the 54 games of his last two years in 1998 and Dupree made 329 free throws in his career and Davis is second at 315 free throw makes and the two are one-two in attempts (Dupree 516, Davis 457)... Tasmin Mitchell's 40-game minutes average of 33.7 is second only to Brandon Bass's 34.2 mpg average for his two years at LSU... Garrett Temple is averaging 33.6 minutes a game for his career. Tasmin Mitchell Mitchell did not have a good shooting night against Wichita State (3-11, 6 points) (11/25) and started slow against McNeese (11/29), but he came on with a strong finish to score 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 2-of-3 from the arc... Through the first four games, Mitchell is averaging 14.3 points per game and 6.8 rebounds a game... He is 10-of-15 from the arc for 66.7 percent and you would be correct in assuming that figure leads the SEC. LSU fans are hopeful that Tasmin Mitchell has a breakout sophomore season and if his intensity and aggressiveness at practice is any indication, then this will be his year... But then again, who is to say that his freshman year wasn't a breakout year... The Denham Spring product averaged 11.4 points per game and 5.6 rebounds, making the SEC All-Freshman team while being selected to the freshman All-American team selected by Collegeinsider.com... Of Mitchell's top 11 scoring games as a freshman, eight were against SEC schools, including all four of his career high of 20 points (Florida-SECT, Vanderbilt-SECT, at South Carolina and at Ole Miss... Mitchell, after all those 20 points games, finally upped his career high to 21 against Louisiana-Monroe (11/19), hitting five treys as part of his 7-of-8 night from the floor Mitchell has started every game in his 40-game LSU career and he has 25 games scoring in double figures. Garrett Temple Temple showed the hours of work this summer on his shooting may have paid off, equaling his career high in threes by hitting 4-of-8 attempts as he had a career high 16 points to go with four assists in 31 minutes in the opener against Nicholls State (11/17)... He upped that career high to 17 points against McNeese State (11/29) hitting 7-of-12 field goals, including 3-of-6 treys... For the season, Temple is 9-of-24 at the three-point arc or 37.5 percent. His father played, his older brother played and there was no doubt that Garrett has added to the Temple legacy with his first-year standing on the 2006 NCAA Final Four Tigers... Temple scored an average of 5.1 points last year with 2.8 assists, startling 35 of the team's 36 games... Through the first four games, Temple is averaging 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Darnell Lazare Lazare has had a strong start to the season in the spot occupied by Tyrus Thomas most of last year, but it is one he is very familiar with as he had 15 starts in the position at various times during the season. Lazare enters the game Saturday leading the league in field goal percentage and tied for the SEC lead in free throw percentage... The senior has posted four game numbers of 21-of-31 (67.7 percent) to stake to the conference lead... For the most part the game totals were fairly consistent -- 4-of-6, 8-of-10, 4-of-7 and 5-of-8... He's missed only two free throws in four games and stands 12-of-14 or 85.7 percent. Lazare started the season opener for the third time in four years against Nicholls State (11/17) and recorded his first college double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds... His 10 rebounds were all defensive boards... Lazare his 4-of-6 field goal attempts and was part of LSU's impressive free-throw shooting, hitting 8-of-9 attempts... He came right back against ULM and his 8-of-10 field goal attempts in scoring anoth-

9 er 16 points in 25 minutes of play Against McNeese his 11 points made it his longest string of consecutive double figure scoring games at LSU... He is averaging 13.5 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. This will mark the second straight year that LSU has just one senior (Darrel Mitchell last year, Darnell Lazare this season). Ben Voogd Voogd took advantage of the opportunity that was presented him on Wednesday against McNeese State and responded, coming off the bench to hit all four field goal attempts, including both trey shots and add two free throws for a career-high 12 points in 21 minutes of play against the Cowboys... More importantly on the stat line were the six assists and no turnovers with two steals... The Oregon sophomore's previous career high was five points in December 2005 against UNO...Voogd is averaging 4.5 points per game, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds, while averaging 16 minutes a contest. The Point Guards One of the best set of numbers is when the number of assists for the point guards is higher than the combined number of turnovers and that so far is working well for the point guard trio of Temple, Voogd and Minor... Temple (15-6), Voogd (14-2) and Minor (10-6) have combined for 39 assists and 14 turnovers... Voogd presently leads the SEC in assist to turnover ratio at 7.00 after his first four games... Temple's 2.50 ratio is tied for fifth in the league stats. Magnum Rolle Rolle has been predicted to have a big roll during the season and he has had his moments during the first four games The raw talent from the Bahamas is averaging 4.0 points and 4.8 rebounds with 1.3 blocks while averaging 16 minutes a game He has made 8-of-18 shots, and is 0-for-2 in his only trip to the free throw line... Last year, Rolle was effective late, sometimes in tandem with Lazare when Glen Davis and Tyrus Thomas were out of the game for rest or more importantly, when the pair got into four trouble. The Louisiana Streak At The PMAC LSU now has won 63 straight regular season home games at the Maravich Center against Louisiana schools after the wins against Nicholls State, Louisiana-Monroe and McNeese... The last loss at the Maravich Center to an in-state school was Dec. 6, 1988 when LSU lost to Louisiana Tech in overtime, LSU has wins over the following schools in the streak (note--exhibition game wins over LSU-Shreveport and this year over Louisiana College do not count): McNeese State 15 Nicholls State 12 Southeastern Louisiana 6 Southern-Baton Rouge 5 Northwestern State 4 New Orleans 4 Centenary 4 Louisiana-Monroe 4 Louisiana-Lafayette 3 Tulane 3 Grambling 1 Louisiana College 1 Southern-New Orleans 1 Interesting to note that the last state school to beat LSU in the Maravich Center, Louisiana Tech, will make its first appearance since that win on Dec. 23, the first meeting between the two schools since that 1988 game. Tigers Still Trying to Find Consistency At Three-Point Line It's been talked about ad nausea in the preseason magazines whether LSU would be able to come up with consistent results from the three-point line How would LSU replace sharp shooting senior Darrel Mitchell as the three-point shooter. Would the Tigers be scared of the line? Would it suddenly trip them as they ran down the floor? In four games, things have been up and down as in the first game the Tigers hit 11 treys in 19 attempts, more than any single game made last year, the followed it up with 7-of-18 versus ULM (11/19) and LSU was just 2-of-9 against Wichita State (11/25)... But against McNeese it was back up the ladder as LSU was in double figures for the second time this season with 10 treys... For the season, LSU is 30-of-65 from the threepoint arc or 46.2 percent, which is the best in the league early on. SCORING BREAKDOWN CLASS PTS PCT.
