I walked away very happy with our first look of the LSU basketball team.

Johnny O'Beast was as good as advertised. He was a man among boys out there and could do pretty much whatever he wanted. He is already our best player on the team no doubt.

I was also extremely impressed with Hickey. He was very quick, smart with the basketball, and can shoot the rock. We may very well have our first true point guard who can do all the things you want a 1 to do since Torris Bright (maybe a bad example but can't think of anyone else since him who can compete in the SEC).

Issac is not as good as the first 2 freshmen, but again, I walked away impressed with his abilities as well. Good shooting touch, played real hard.

Overall, I am pretty pumped about our team and I do think 8-8 in the SEC will be a minimum expectation for Coach Johnson. Honestly think we can do better. We have depth and 10-11 players Coach can put in the game with not much drop off in play.

Again, this was just 1 game and we looked like world beaters last year after 1 game too. So, let's see how we look against some good competition next week, but early indications are we will be 100% improved

I know it was only one game, and against Nicholls, but just seeing that we put up 96 and had 7 guys in double figures is exciting.

I didn't go see the game, how big was the crowd?

Ralston says otherwise.

i'm not passing the torch until Johnny O plays in some SEC games.

-Hickey will run the offense along with Bass

-JOB becomes our best player along with Turner

- Isaac I was impress with his shot and athletism(especially when he went up for the dunk where he got fouled but still made it)
