Wasn't when I was a student, but those were different times. Many LSU students are still from in and around B.R., but this team needs to give them a reason to come.

They could give them a reason with a competitive game against Marquette.

Problem is they are probably about 20 pts. better than us talent-wise on a neutral court and the PMAC isn't exactly a venue that gives the home team a big boost these days.

We'll have to come out with alot of intentsity and focus to compete, something we've only done sporadically this year.

I expect Hickey to have one of his best games. I think he is the type of player who will prove over his career to play his best against the best competition as he did against Kentucky frosh Teague in high school all-star games.

The X factor is Turner. He has been a bit disappointing this year IMHO. Until he can play up to the standards many here thought him capable of, I can't see us competing against the likes of Marquette.

Let's hope he shows up Monday.

Geaux Tigers!!

Great post. I agree with everything you said.

People aren't going to come out until the team gives them a reason to come out.

Marquette is just a lot better than us though. Going to be tough out there. Hopefully we play well. If Marquette comes to play, it won't matter.
