Trey Iles, T-P - All right, let's get started. Here's our first question.

How important is tonight's game with LSU? What does Tulane need to do to get into at-large consideration.

12:00

Ted Lweis, T-P - Well winning would certainly be a big boost. But losing to a Top 10 team probably wouldn't matter that much at this stage. Winning at least two of three at USM this weekend is a must.

Do you think we've turned the corner in baseball or just a matter of playing a bad team last weekend?

12:03

Ted Lewis, T-P - I believed the team turned a corner back at Central Florida after that Friday night loss. The players have talked about how much more relaxed they are, etc.
The pitching continues to be sound and putting Matt Ryan at third has solidified the infield. Memphis did come in with a poor record, but the Tigers swung the bats with abandon and got a terrific pitching performance on Saturday. That's baseball.

What's the biggest improvement for football coming out of spring training? And what's your prediction for next fall coming out of spring?

Ted Lewis, T-P -

At this stage, Joe Kemp looks like an upgrade over Kevin Moore, although he'll have to prove it on the field. The defensive line is very deep. Jeremy Williams looked terrific in the drills he was allowed to participate in and Alex Lauricella is the best player in the secondary. All of that being said, at this stage this looks like a .500 team at best.

Know anything about USM? Can we go up and win two of three you think?

12:07

Ted Lewis, T-P - They are having the same sort of season at Tulane - too many early losses to be comfortably in the tournament at this stage. Tulane has always played well in Hattiesburg, so two of three is very doable.
