horns favored by 1 1/2 hmmm

LSU is completely crappy at rebounding.  Here's hoping we can get a lot of second chance baskets and prevent them from getting any.  Auburn took 29 more fga than LSU in LSU's last game.

[bierce]

Or if make all our first chances, I'd be good with that, too.

[bierce]

Shedrick on the drive, and we're 1/1.

[bierce]

Shedrick runs the floor, gets rewarded, and draws the foul. 

[bierce]

Shedrick misses the open three, a weird shot for us to work for.  LSU scores, draws a foul, missed the ft.  Back toShedrick in the paint.  Misses from 2 feet.

Shedrick has taken all our shots so far.

LSU on a jam.  4-4.

[bierce]

Johnson feeds Kaluma in the corner.  Shot fake to get open.  Nails the three. 

[bierce]

Pryor in early.  Drives and scores.  LSU misses again.  Larry feeds Shedrick who gets fouled again.  9-4 Texas.  TV timeout.  Good start, even if we have gone to Shedrick a little too often.

He shook of the dunk in his face.

Picturesque step back jumper by Tre.

really liked Pryor on that possession

Pryor should get what were Kent's minutes

Uh I think you are good now. 

[bierce]

We're shooting poorly, but board dominance has us up.  Then LSU hits a banked three with a foul to try to cut it to 2. 

[Jordan91]

Don’t like this lineup. 

[bierce]

Nice hang time by Mark.

[bierce]

I'll take 75-54.

Jordan, your general critique of Kent stands - because he seems lost unless in an open floor.

Nice rebound by Kent.  Glad I could say something good about him after that hideous attempt to pass to the baseline with a shoulder high line drive pass through traffic.

[TexasMDcoach]

Need more consistent defensive effort.

At least he knows it’s okay to dribble now. He needs to actually turn his head. He had  an easy pass to the top of the key. It took forever because he didn’t turn his head that way.

16-7 on the boards.  LSU is bad at rebounding, but if we can board like this the rest of the year . . .
