Thought you were studying for the bar exam or whatever. My mistake. So you're almost done? Staying in town after? Not sure how all that works.

he started both years.

based on last years performance: streaky shooter, played below average defense, average at best quickness, not very tough.

A finalized roster would be nice but that is just a starting point. Who knows how good any of these new guys are until we actually get to see them in a game? I haven't given up on this coming season but it could go either way. It is pretty obvious that we will be undersized so therefore it looks like our season will rise or fall on pressure defense, fast break and shooting percentage - especially three's. I really think Hickey and Stringer are capable of shooting much better than last year but just because they are capable doesn't mean they will. We didn't lose much in Ralston but Hamilton and Storm will be missed badly on the the boards.

Pants, if you want to get really excited, watch the Marquette game. Watch any SEC game and you're likely to see why most people here are down on him.

His lateral movement is subpar, shot gets flat at times.. Do think a change scenery will be good for him.

Here is video of Ralston Turner at the North Carolina Pro Am tournament this July. Same old Ralston although he got more rebounds than I ever remember him getting for us. Zero for four on mostly wide open jumpers. His shooting form is still flawed and his shot is too flat. Doubt he sees much action this coming season.

NC State is far more talented than us, so ralston won't have to do shite but spot up and shoot. If he's on, he'll make 4 or so in a row. but when his jumper isn't falling he's just another body on the court.

No, I'm a fan. Happy so far.

This team is not his fault.

awww.

96, huh?

that translates to the LAST 5 IN to the NIT.

68 get into the big dance.

32 go to the NIT.

100. so..... if 96 is a good approximation, that would mean LSU fans will be biting nails whether they are invited to the NIT.
