PURPLE and GOLD basketball game. O'bryant was in the house

Very small crowd (Approx. 1200) with the mid and upper sections roped off. The band wasn't there but the cheerleaders were. Johnny O'bryant was there sitting courtside with some of his friends and they had a white dude with dreadlocks and an LSU O'bryant shirt on with O'bryant written on in marks o lot. O'bryant was laid back and laughing at they dude and some people took pics of the white dude and O'bryant standing together.
Here is my quick take on this years squad.

1. Ralston Turner can shoot lights out. I don't know if he was just hot for this game but everything he threw up seemed to go in.
2. The next best player on the floor was probably Malcolm White. He will be our best rebounder along with Storm Warren. White looked like he wasn't too pumped for the scrimmage and is waiting to show his stuff in the season opener next week.
3. The 7'2" walkon tuba player did not play. Neither did Justin Hamilton. Everyone else played.
4. Chris Bass is still fast but still can't control his speed as well as he should.
5. Eddie Ludwig will be a great role player and is probably the most fundamental player on the team.
6. Andre Stringer is like a small Derrick Taylor (See LSU basketball - 1982-86.) He is smooth, can shoot and doesn't panic when he's double teamed.
7. Derenbecker can shoot but he acted like he was the star. He shot the ball a lot after making his first three and struggled with his passing and shooting after that. If he can play under control and not force his shot, he will get a lot of shots off for a guy who is 6'7".
8. Dennis Harris had 3... yes 3 moving screens called on him. He can shoot the ball and is a good defender. He will need to stay healthy for this team to prosper.
9. Storm was non-existant. Probably waitin on the regular season.
10. Garrett Green must be hurt cause he missed the goal on at least two shots.
11. Aaron Dotson did alright. He will never be a star and he will have to be a role player. No way he should start.
12 Jalen Courtney and Daron Populist played sparingly and did nothing eventful.

There was only one dunk in the game and it was by Malcom White and was the final play of the game. Coach J. called the game at about the 9 minute mark of the second half. The team waved to the crowd and went straight to the locker room. From what I saw tonight, this team has improved some but they are still a horrible passing team and guard play will haunt them. At 5'10" and 6'1", Stringer and Bass will have trouble against the SEC big guards. If this team stays healthy they can possibly make the NIT. To expect anything other than that would be almost delusional. The 7'2" big man will probalby redshirt. Sorry to say we will once again have to "wait till next year."
