Derric Jean is our leader. Even while on the bench, he is standing to help coach and encourage the players on the court. Once he fouled out, it was gonna be tough to win without him.
Duruji can flat out shoot...and jump. He is very very good and athletic. I thought he was the best player on the court tonight and so did most of the LSwhoo fans.
Christon in my opinion didn't shoot enough tonight. He went out with either an ankle or knee injury late in the game. I hope he is ok b/c he is critical to the team. He is awesome. I really believe if Christon and Jean are in the game until the end that we win.
I thought Powell did a good job banging down low. He is tough.
Bracey didn't have a great game and I thought he was mentally out of it. If he didn't get a call or was called for a foul, I thought he held his head down. He is amazingly quick handling the ball. He had some nice passes and I like the way he drives the lane.
Archibald played ok tonight. I thought he would be a little more explosive but LSU defended him well.
Pemberton gave some good quality minutes in relief.
Muhammed looked a little slow to what was going on in the game. He did give some good quality minutes as well. He is a physical strong player.
The DAWGS out rebounded LSU, had way more turnovers and that was the difference. LSU shot terrible and they still beat us b/c of turnovers. I know at one time we had 15 to their 6, not sure how it ended up. LSU probably had close to 10 blocks as well.
Overall, it was a great game. The game was closer than what the score indicates. We should make some noise in conference USA this year. Again, everyone around me was impressed by Duruji. He is a special player.
