W. Basketball. LSU Downs LA Tech 81-69

[BlindDog]

Another BIG game and our first home game for the Techsters this coming Sat. 11/23/2013 at 1:00 PM
Thomas Assembly Center
It will be nice to get the Techsters back home and for the fans to get to check out the new Paul Milsaps Vision Board and some of the new players!
Not to mention the Bulldogs takeing on Tulsa at home at 6:00 PM!
So, what's the low down on the Tigger's this years so far?
Hopeing it's a nice attendance for the game with all the tail gators and would give a lot of folks a chance to check out our awesome back court we have this year!
Go Techsters!
Who's going to make the game?

[Blue Dawg]

I'll be there. Most other students are home right now (and through Thanksgiving) but I'm coming back into town for this game and Tulsa.

Attendance will be poor. Almost everyone that I usually come with is going to be home for break (and further away than I am) so it's tough to justify the trip back in.

Glad they will have discounted tickets for folks going to the football game and the band playing after the game!
Still wondering how we will match up with the tiggers this year! Do they have a player to watch or a dominit big down low that control the game?
A win would be nice and the Techsters need to get on a positive roll!
Go Techsters!

I don't know much about them this year. They have 2 players that are 6'4 and one that is 6'5". McKinney seems to stand out in the stats with the most rebounds. She is one of the 6'4 forwards. I don't know how many of those 3 players start, though. No one shows up as dominating in the stats. It looks pretty evenly dispersed scoring. If we can contain their bigs, our backcourt is certainly good enough to get it done.

So far this year, LSU has gone with a starting line up of Plaisance 6'5 SR F (her mom is the head coach of Nicholls State), Boykin 6'2 JR, Moncrief 5'10 FR, Harden 5'9 JR and Ballard 5'9 SO. McKinney is a 6'4 SR F and she started their last game in place of Boykin. Plaisance is a versatile big that can hit the 3, but also have some inside skills. Ballard is a scorer who can shoot with distance and Moncrief is there highly touted Freshman guard.

Good information! I didn't have anything to go from, except the stats. McKinney must have had a good game, when she started in that last game.

Harding for LSU was the former point guard for Oklahoma. She was the #1 ranked PG in the NJCAA and the Techsters' Walter was the # 2 ranked point guard if I am not mistaken.

[BlindDog]

thanks for the info folks! little worried about there bigs but thinking our guards will hold there own!

Still worried about our lack of recruiting "bigs" after Barmore left. We are still too small.

agreed Tyler, got Molton at 6'4" on the bench as a Fres.. but nothing in the class of 2014 for the time being!
You would hope we would have the in-side track on Brown in a year but got a lot of competition for her!

Who's going to make the game?

Me +2. Go Lady Techsters!!

A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:

Louisiana Tech continues its tough non-conference slate when the Lady Techsters host the 15th ranked LSU Lady Tigers Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Thomas Assembly Center.

I didn't realize they were #15 right now. We shall see if that is deserved or not.

[BruceWillisDawg]

Beating the Techsters is not going to validate LSU's ranking. However, losing will certainly invalidate their ranking. LSU rolls by 20+

All these games are going to really help our rpi, plus I know Spoon wanted to give them the toughest schedule that she could in order to help them improve. I just don't want them to get demoralized and too down in the process. There is an art to balancing those two things.
