Memphis Tigers - HC alum Penny Hardaway in his 1st season taking over after Tubby Smith was shitcanned. Similar to Wade, hes garnering a lot of attention in recruiting and looking to implement his own brand of basketball. But as with most ex star players, I dont think he has an actual plan. We will see. LSU is favored by 10'.
Sr Guard Jeremiah Martin led the team in points, steals and assists last year and is the one to watch. Although coming of hernia surgery last month he still played well game 1.
Sr Forward Kylon Davenport scored 30 with 10 boards last game in a win over UT-Chat. At 6'8 I look for Reid to get in his way.
F 0 Kyvon Davenport 6 ft 8 Sr
G 1 Tyler Harris 5 ft 9 Fr
G 2 Alex Lomax 5 ft 11 Fr
G 3 Jeremiah Martin 6 ft 3 Sr
G/F 4 Raynere Thornton 6 ft 6 Sr
They look small to me. Im not sure they can keep pace with our size and scoring in transition. They turn the ball over 15x a game. Hoping for a breakout game for Marlon Taylor. This kid would be starting on many teams. Hes having trouble getting minutes but hes got skills that will surface eventually. Really dynamic and explosive off the ball.
Its in Baton Rouge where its rainy and cold and a good night for a basketball victory. Crowds have been impressive so far. Looking to go 3-0.
84-76 LSU.
