Nice win but lets not get to big for our britches just yet. Need to at
least split the remaining two games for a successful trip, but of course,
two more wins would be utterly fantastic. Hard to imagine this team
if they improve throughout the season and next. Regardless, I prefer
to remain humble, play angry every minute until JRS gets in, crash the
boards, play as a team and have fun.

Also skips from the under 4 timeout at the end of the game to the last minute of the game. Was trying to show the wife the commentary when Barney came in, but that got cut.

Like a plague.

At the 12:20 mark the Shocks where up by 30 at 59-29. That mini-run was lead by Daishon, Rauno and Austin. Daishon drove the baseline and kicked out to Rauno on the right wing who immediatley passed to a wide open Austin at the top of the key for a 3. On the ensuing LSU possession Rauno forced a jump ball after Reath pulled down an offensive rebound by basically just engulfing the ball while in Reath's hands. Possession to the Shockers. Then Rauno knocks down a 3. LSU missed a couple of shots on their next possession and Daishon hits his great runner over the 6-10 Reath and the Shocks were up by 30. That was the put it in the deep freeze moment for me. Love the depth we are seeing this year, love the unselfishness and love the way any of the kids are willing to step up and make something happen.

That sequence was a thing of beauty.

There are certainly many things to like about the Shocker team but there was one segment in the LSU game the really caught my eye and tells you a lot about this Shocker team.

At the 13:30 mark of the 2nd half LSU had pulled to within 22 at 51-29 and the Shockers weere scuttling a bit. I thought Markis maybe had forced a couple of Shots and LSU had finished off one of their better stretches, albeit a short one, in the game.

Yeah, that drive, dish, and rotation back to the top of the key to Reaves was a thing of beauty.

How I toasted the beatdown. Nice straight bourbon without breaking the bank.

Best part of all this? We can't see the ceiling yet. Crazy!

A $427,000 salary isn't paying for anything too swanky in NYC.

543,471 actually.

And we didn't exactly blister the nets, had 13 turnovers and allowed 13 offensive rebounds. We can and will do better down the line.

Looking at the Louisville forum they have at least two threads on having to play us only 15 hours after their game tonight and we get 24hrs rest.

And my favorite comment:
Marshall must be holding out for a really good gig.

It would never occur to them that he has a really good gig right now.

Nice!

Landry is pretty good.

Overall I thought our Shocks played a pretty decent all around game. Our defense really took LSU out of their game. Offensively we shot the 3 ball good for the second game in a row. Good to see Conner hit a few along with Landry and even Nurger showing his range. Kelly seems to be playing with more confidence on the offensive side which is huge, because he's always played good defense and rebounds good. Shaq was alittle off today, we need him to be consistent and stay away from those silly fouls. Love our depth and overall athleticism. We're only going to get better.
