Apparently these Tigers are not a very good road team...yet. Remember. Overall they are very young. College basketball in a hostile arena is a new thing for most of them. Hudson scored 22 tonight. May be getting his stroke back. Mitchell hit a huge basket with about 7 seconds left.
centenary has played ole miss (L on road by 12), texas (blowout on road). they have also split with mcneese. they are decent at best. but it shouldnt be close. they had guards with size 6-3, 6-4 that gave us trouble. glad hudson came through. we'll need him. i think this means we'll get killed on the road. maybe this lights a fire under our asses. we'll see what happens at arkansas soon.
I actually forgot that all of our games have been at home so far until the last 2. I think thats pretty remarkable, it seems like our whole non conference schedule was at home. This isn't good for starting our conference schedule. I haven't kept up with the schedule that closely other than whether its televised or not due to football. The Real season starts on the 6th anyway. Hudson and Mitchell have to get it going or where in trouble on the road and I think they will
Well, I was at the game and while it may have been a road game the crowd could hardly be called hostile. I would estimate the crowd at about 60% for LSU. The Centenary defense did a great job disrupting LSU and the tigers hurt themselves early with turnovers. LSU had trouble at the line and just seemed to have a hard time getting into a rhythm. But they did what they needed to pull out a victory.
