Sissoko had some boneheadedness early... but is fighting down low

Seems to have a little more energy tonight

Don't like that we didn't score after that LSU timeout. Would have been nice to take a double-digit lead into the half. Can't let them get any momentum at all in the second.

Maybe instead of them trying to drive it all the way, pull up for the mid range if the lane isn’t open all the way. Mix it up some

[BleedingGreen]

Just avoid a 4 minute scoring drought and we should be good .

Let me guess what’s going on lsu’s fan board from bozos who didn’t bother to check NT’s team defense rank…

 “ Our guys are missing shots they should be making!!1!!”  
“It’s like we’re not trying hard!”  
“We’re giving this game away!!1!1!”  
“I can’t believe <high-scoring player> can’t find his shot against these guys!!”….  

Sound about right? 😂

LSU is making more shots this half.  Not gonna lie, I wish we had closed out the 1st better...I fear we gave them some confidence.

Seems like LSU is regaining their confidence in the 2nd half!

NT 58 ---------- LSU 45

 

13:13 to go

 

We're trying to bury them now.  Great three minute segment.

Another fun run of Mean Green basketball! And that weird *thud* noise the goal makes on a made three is oddly satisfying.

Who is this team LSU is playing against?

NT 62 ---------- LSU 48

 

10:01 to go

 

Starting to slow the game down some, which is actually much more our style.  Beat them playing at a faster pace, if we start grinding them -- you really have to like our chances.

Exactly. Play mean green bball - slow temp milking the clock. Let LSU put pressure on themselves with each possession

NT 66 ---------- LSU 54

 

7:16 to go

 

Had pushed the lead to 18, but Tigers trying make a charge.

It’s more appropriate to say the Tigers are trying to claw back into the game.

Play smart fellas and we'll play this weekend.

[Matt from A700]

Shout out to the refs in the game. Maybe it's the green Kool aid talking, but this game is going to run well under 2 hours. That's good when that happens.

May have jinxed this.

[DeepGreen]

Talk about LSU homer announcers.

[CMJ]

Those missed free throws are gonna kill us.

[NTXDJ]

Was LSU's foot on the line on that last 3 ptr?

 

[Andrew]

Hope those missed free throws don’t come back to bite us in the butt. 

[MeanGreen22]

Game turned when we started taking the air out of the ball rather then continuing to do what worked. Offense was cooking with grease when they pushed at the right times. 

[CMJ]

Down to five...getting really nervous.

[3_n_out]

Play smart ball. LSU will be aggressive defensively. Draw the foul
