There is early anticipation for the

2006-07 LSU men's basketball season

and why not, coming off a season in which

the Tigers won a second straight

Southeastern Conference Western

Division title, the regular season SEC

Championship (the first since 2000 and

the first outright title in 21 years), made

the first trip to the NCAA Final Four by the

LSU men's team in 20 years and finished

with a final ranking of No. 3 in the country

in the national coaches' poll.

The anticipation isn't tempered by the loss of senior point guard and leader Darrel Mitchellor SEC Freshman of the Year sensation Tyrus Thomas, who was the fourth pick overall in the NBADraft by the Portland Trail Blazers and by trade ended up with the Chicago Bulls.

By choice, the LSU coaching staff decided at the end of the day to stay with what they hadreturning, along with two transfers who had been on campus for most of last season as their teamfor 2006-07. It was easy to see why.

It was all in the chemistry.A chemistry triggered by a coach named John Brady who was able to mold together the tal-

ent of local/area players and take good friends who had for the most part known each other foryears and develop that bond into a cohesive unit on the court (and in their case off the court aswell).

That chemistry can still be there in 2006-07 but the players may have to work a little hard-er to reestablish it as some new parts are added to the puzzle, but all the parts are pretty familiarto the returning Tigers.

LSU technically returns three starters who started almost the entire 2005-06 season fromthe opening game in November with Southern to the NCAA Final Four game with UCLA in April.Sophomore Glen Davis and freshman Tasmin Mitchell started all 36 games and Garrett Templestarted 35 games for the Tigers.

Although when talking about returning starters, Tack Minor is back after a medical redshirtseason in which he only played three games before injuring his medial collateral ligament andbeing forced to the sideline for the remainder of the year.

Davis, the consensus choice as SEC Player of the Year, made tremendous improvement fromhis freshman to sophomore seasons as he led the league in scoring at 18.6 points a game andrebounding at 9.7 boards a contest. Davis was also fourth in the league in field goal percentage(49.5%) and first in the league in offensive rebounds at 4.03 a game.

The subject of much media scrutiny during last season, especially in the postseason as hetalked frankly with the media on a variety of subjects, Davis already has been the subject of muchmedia coverage in the summer after working at one of the July basketball camps and showing his

wares in pick up games after losing more weight to get down to around 289 as August begins.Tasmin Mitchell played the game with the intelligence that made people sometimes forget

that he was just a freshman and in other years could have certainly put him claiming leagueFreshman of the Year honors. Mitchell will be the second leading returning scorer on the 2006-07roster, averaging 11.4 points a game and 5.6 rebounds, the latter figure which was 16th best in theSEC. Mitchell had a team returning best 53 steals, hit 74.1 percent of his free throws and was a workhorse on the floor, averaging 34.44 minutes a game, seventh best in the league.

Temple started at primarily the off-guard position, but the third member of the Temple fam-ily to play at LSU also played some point guard along the way. The freshman certainly becameknown nationally for his defensive effort on Duke's J. J. Reddick in the regional semifinal gameagainst the nation's top team as Temple hounded the Blue Devils' star, forcing him into one of theworst shooting games of his career. Temple averaged 33.5 minutes a game and averaged 5.1 points,just over 2.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds a contest.

Minor during the 2004-05 season served as the team's primary point guard as a sophomoreand averaged 10.8 points and 3.9 rebounds along with 4.6 assists per game. He started all 30games that season and can be the type of player that can keep the Tigers headed in the rightdirection, but he will be called upon to be a part of the already developed chemistry for the LSUteam to continue its success in 2006-07.

One can't talk about the bright lights of the past season without focusing on the only seniorfor the 2006-07 Tigers. Darnell Lazare made major contributions to the Tigers success, both as astarter and off the bench, and his hard work during the off-season following his sophomore cam-paign truly paid off for the team during the team's Final Four year.

Lazare, another of the Baton Rouge high school products, started the first nine games lastyear and six more later in the season when Tyrus Thomas was working back into the game afterspraining his ankle. Lazare averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds, hitting 48.9 percent of his fieldgoal attempts while averaging 18.9 minutes a game. Lazare scored in double figures in four ofLSU's seven post-season games, including 10 points against top-ranked Duke in the NCAAs at atime when both Davis and Thomas were in early foul trouble, hitting 5-of-8 field goal attempts.

Other returning lettermen for the Tigers include guards Ben Voogd and David Fleshman andforwards Magnum Rolle and Chris Johnson.

Voogd played in all 36 games as the back-up point guard and although he did not have theopportunity to score much, certainly had some games with quality minutes at important times forLSU, averaging 1.7 assists per game.

Fleshman has been a tough practice player for the Tigers since he walked on to the teamfrom The Dunham School and has done an outstanding job helping to run the scout team to pre-pare the Tigers for future opponents.

Rolle and Johnson both came to LSU from Laurinburg Prep in North Carolina and both areexpected to be bigger contributors for the 2006-07 team after a summer of off-season condition-ing and weight work. Rolle did play in 33 of the 36 games a year ago and coach John Brady feelsRolle can be one of those taking up the slack for the loss of NBA-bound Thomas. Rolle averaged2.2 points and 2.5 rebounds a year ago with 21 blocked shots. Johnson didn't see a great deal ofplaying time, but has a smooth jump shot that a season of practice and experience could offer himthe opportunity to get more playing time this season.

Three players will make their on-court debuts for the Tigers, all though all three were on theroster for much or all of the 2006 season.

Alex Farrer redshirted last season, but the Phoenix freshman has the shooting touch to bat-tle for some playing time this season.

Dameon Mason transferred prior to last season from Marquette where he earned ConferenceUSA All-Freshman honors starting 28 games, playing an average of 30 minutes and scoring 11.9points per game as a sophomore. He is expected to be a significant factor in the success of the2006-07 team.

Then adding to the depth of the Tigers will be guard Terry Martin from Monroe. Martin,whose dad is a high school coach in Northeast Louisiana, transferred between semesters afterstarting eight of 14 games at Texas Tech before getting closer to home at LSU. He will be availableas the Tigers finish the fall semester and prepare for SEC play.

The Tigers will again face some tough non-conference games in the pre-season in prepara-tion for SEC play. LSU will play Texas A&M, the team it defeated in the NCAA second round, onDec. 5 at the Maravich Assembly Center, and then faces Texas (the team LSU downed to go to theFinal Four) in a game on Dec. 10 at Houston's Toyota Center on ESPN. LSU will travel to the WestCoast for back-to-back games at Oregon State (Dec. 17) and at Washington (Dec. 23).

LSU will also put its 58-game winning streak against Louisiana schools in the MaravichCenter, that dates back to Dec. 1988, to the test against Nicholls State, Louisiana-Monroe,McNeese State and Louisiana Tech. In addition, the Tigers will make a return to New Orleans toface Tulane in the New Orleans Arena. John Brady will face the team he coached for six years whenSamford plays in an exempt tournament LSU will host during the holidays between Christmas andNew Year's.

One of the most anticipated games will be Jan. 6 when Connecticut returns the game fromlast year in Hartford, a down-to-the-wire struggle that UConn was able to walk away from with aone-point victory. The game is also expected to be a nationally televised contest.In the league LSU will host all the Western Division teams as well as Vanderbilt, two-time defend-ing NIT champ South Carolina and the national champions of a year ago, Florida, in the MaravichCenter.

When the league games begin, LSU will put on the line a 17-game home SEC winning streakthat dates back to the final game of the 2004 season and include all eight conference games inthe Maravich Center in both 2005 and 2006.

The LSU basketball program reestablished itself as one of the national players on the collegebasketball map a year ago and Tiger fans look forward to another season of success and contin-ued development of a special group of players.

John BradyHEAD COACH • 10TH SEASON IN 2006-07 • 167-111 RECORD AT LSU

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 theleagues top teams, but not many wins. The strong performances continued as the years went on, but now LSU is winning.

As he prepares for his 10th year as head coach at LSU, John Brady has coached the LSU team as only he knows how -- with heart and passion, and knowl-edge 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 26SEC games in the last two years, the most in the league in that period and LSU concluded the 2005-06 season with 17 straight SEC home wins, thelongest streak in the 35-year history of the Maravich Assembly Center. In the process he earned his second SEC Coach of the Year honor.

The SEC Championship was Brady's second and the school's first outright championship in 21 years.

LSU advanced to the NCAA Tournament, putting the Tigersin postseason play for the fifth straight year and the sixthtime in seven seasons. The Tigers defeated Iona and TexasA&M in the first two rounds in Jacksonville, Fla., and thenknocked off the tournament's top seed, No. 1-ranked Duke, inthe regional semifinals, and nationally-ranked Texas in over-time to advance to the first NCAA Final Four at LSU in 20years.

LSU has had five consecutive winning seasons under JohnBrady and only three times in the program history has therebeen longer consecutive years of winning. In the last sevenseasons, LSU has won 141 games, an average of 20 a year.

For the third time in the last seven seasons, John Brady hascoached the SEC Player of the Year and in those seven yearshe has coached the SEC Freshman of the Year four times,including each of the last three years.

Brady's 162 wins in nine seasons are the third most wins bya LSU basketball coach and only two LSU basketball coach-es have served longer tenures. John Brady has built a pro-gram at LSU with a record of success that is hard to arguewith. He has given the LSU program the direction to growand the chance to shine again.

When Brady arrived on campus in March 1997 and wasgiven the job of rebuilding the program, make no mistake, heknew his program would be riddled with shortcomingsbecause of NCAA-imposed sanctions. He knew he wouldhave the chance to build a foundation based on responsibil-ity and accountability.

Brady's knowledge of the game and his belief in disciplineand responsibility for actions on and off the floor have madethe LSU program strong again, one that LSU fans are proudof 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 athletic and academicpursuits of the players should be challenged to the fullest. That's part of the reason that LSU basketball is not only a success onthe court, but in the classroom as well. Hours are passed and posted toward graduation on a regular basis by scholarship players.The team GPA was over 3.0 this past spring and this despite the team spending close to four consecutive weeks on the road withthe SEC and NCAA Tournaments.

Brady came to LSU after six highly successful seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. In his six-year tenure (1992-97),he turned the team into a consistent winner, posting a record of 89-77. In Brady's six years at Samford, the team had three first-team and five second-team all-league selections.

Now at LSU, the numbers are beginning to work for Brady both on and off the floor. He has had 32 players earn Academic HonorRoll status at LSU, plus 14 players who have received their degrees from LSU.

The 51-year-old Brady is the father of two daughters (Brittany-15, Brooke-11) and is married to the former Misty Champagne.

In his first nine seasons, Brady has taken the Tigers a long way, including to college basketball's pinnacle, the NCAA Final Four. Theresults are a program that is solid both athletically and academically. The top athletes in the country are seriously putting LSU atthe top of their lists and Brady is earning the respect of his peers in the league. He has reestablished LSU back as a national fac-tor in college basketball and the work is being done to keep LSU there for years to come.
