re: Basketball: LSU 80, Marquette 81 | Final | Next: vs. NC State, Tues 4:30 PM

Was there last night. Turned out to be an awesome game after an ugly start. Result sucked, but other than that I had a great night.

- Simmons is the real deal, not much more you can say. Running out of superlatives.

- Ellenson from Marquette is legit as well, he was overwhelming ERIII with quickness and skill. I'm sure the ankle is still bothering him but Robinson continues to look a step slow out there.

- Once we went to the ultra small lineup with 4 guards and Benny things started to open up. Did a great job of creating turnovers with the press.

- We probably win this easily with even a normal shooting night from Blakeney. Once Hornsby and Victor are added into this mix, this team is going to be a force.
