Glynn Cyprien on the importance of Senior Night, looking ahead

Key quotes from Glynn Cyprien interview:

"All in all, as a team, they (LSU) have played well.They have had a lot of close games that they have won.They have some veteran leadership and that is always important for a ball club."

"Kennedy did a good job of lighting a fire under Ray (Turner) and challenging him and making him come out and play better second half (against South Carolina)."

"I thought that we were very unselfish... we really shared the basketball. People look at our team and think we are one dimensional with Elston (Turner) but we have other guys that are capable."

"These guys deserve it. They have been working hard for the Twelfth Man. These guys deserve to go out with a bang... They need to have their peers out there cheering for them. It is going to make a difference...They really enjoy looking in the stands and seeing their peers there."

"What he (Elston Turner) has done and meant for this program is phenomenal and more so than numbers just in character and what kind of kid he is."

"What he (Ray Turner) has shown is that if you just continue to grind in your life and your studies and things that are important to you that you can achieve anything. what he has done academically and for this program is a phenomenal step. We are all awfully proud of Ray."

"When you talk about Texas A&M and the Twelfth Man you see a picture of Jarod (Jahns). What he has done is phenomenal, to come from nowhere to what he has done."

"The one thing that scares me a little bit is always senior night because of the distractions that are involved with it. It is going to be up to our guys to stay focused and play hard. LSU is playing great."

"For us to continue to play and get game experience is important for this program and for the future of this program."
