If you were at the game it's ok to admit it....it was cringe worthy.

It was a bunch of little kids on the floor for 5 minutes doing "skills" to some crappy canned soundtrack that was like the basketball version of the Hokey Pokey. The "skills" weren't skillful at all....I was at least expecting some basketballs spinning on fingers or something. The kids weren't even in sync. I felt bad for the kids.

Come on LSU, if I'm going to spend my hard earned $12 buying a ticket from some guy in front of the PMAC, at least pony up for some real halftime entertainment. 100 kids on a court does NOT automatically equal "cute". At least give me Quick Change or that Oriental girl that would balance cups and plates while riding around on a unicycle.

And if it was one of your kids out there, sorry. No offense.

LSU doesn't believe in halftime entertainment. What else explains West Side Story from the band every fricking year?

man we are bitching about pretty much anything today. I think we have much bigger issues regarding whats going on in the PMAC. They could bring contestants out for a fingernail growing competition for all I care, we just can't keep playing the type of 2nd half ball we have been

I enjoyed the little boy who cried the entire time

The dancing and muscle flexing over the big screen were excellent as well

Let the kids have some fun. Who cares about half time entertainment at most sporting events. Halftime is where you go get concessions or use the restroom.

that was hillarious. i was trying so hard not to laugh but i eventually lost my shite. for those who werent there there had to have been like at least 75 toddlers there basicly rolling midget basketballs in cricles around them set to audio cues from this shity song that was playing. it was hillarious because most of the kids just sperged out the whole time

that group buys a dickload of tickets and as we know with LSU, they'll do just about anything to make a buck

The halftime "show" was an absolute joke. Worst thing I have ever seen in all my years going to basketball games.

The monkey that rides the dog should be mandatory, stay in your seat/concessions close halftime entertainment for every home game.

They had the same show last year. I was shocked they invited them back.

Parents, friends and relatives of those kids bought 100 or more extra tickets, which makes the arena look better on TV. Until the team sells more tickets on their own merits, this is what you get.

Half the events at LSU outside of baseball and football are populated with parents of scouts, youth league teams, etc. waiting for their kids to perform at halftime or go a clinic after the game.

I enjoyed the halftime show. Kids crying and dribbling out of control. What's not to like?

Man, that halftime entertainment was cringeworthy. Bunch of crying kids being herded around and awkwardly rolling about tiny basketballs to a cheesy song.

Yep, this. They do this every year and they bring in a lot of people. Doing this at an 11 AM game where it's going to be a hit or miss crowd was a smart thing to do. Also, you can't expect Quick Change or the lady on the unicycle to be at every single game. They have their own schedules already. Good halftime acts are not cheap by any means and there is something called a budget.
