WSU Versus LSU Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[shockmonster]

I wish I had watched an LSU game, but after looking at the box scores of their previous games, my confidence has gone up.

LSU is 3-0, but they're not exactly blowing out the cupcakes they played. Their last game, they beat North Florida at home by only 8 points (and shot 56% from the FREE THROW LINE). They seem to only have three bench players that play significant minutes which will play to our advantage of depth. Their starting point guard is not a scorer at all, and they appear to only have one threat in their 2 guard, Blakeney. We should run away with this one in the 2nd half.

Updated prediction:

Shocks: 81
Tigers: 65

Good analysis for a message board prediction thread but I hope our coaches do more investigation than Box scores. There may be some important hidden information. :)

Let's not forget that Craig Victor will return for the tigers on Wednesday. He's a 6'9 junior that averaged 11.5 points per game last year. http://www.lsunow.com/daily/he-s-bac...b9c85fbc6.html

He should have gone to ISUR and he wouldn't have missed a game.

Lol like I said, I had no video to go off of. Luckily coach has that luxury. Coaching will also be a huge advantage for this game.

Same punishment. Held out until they think they might lose without him.

Coach mentioned in the postgame interview that IB and Jans had already started scouting LSU prior to yesterday's game. How valuable must it be to not only have an extra assistant coach, but one with the knowledge of Jans? Should pay dividends in an eight-team tournament like B4A.

I am not surprised they were already working on LSU. I'm a little surprise that he admitted on air that they were already working on Louisville.

You'll have to dig to find basketball discussion, because it's still football season.

Here is one thread they have going on the game: http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/l...tate/67099082/

They have a soccer board and not a basketball board. Tells me all I need to know.

So of the six posters, two seem to have some pretty good sense about them. Like the guy who starts out talking about individual talent and pointing to the four 4* on their starting five but then goes on to state the Shox are a better TEAM and are better coached. That's a reasonable observation.
