Most positive thing i saw was our full court press. It takes great coaching to make the press work as good as it did. To me, the future looks bright for LSU basketball


It doesn't hurt at all that we really have kids who can make the press work. Morgan, Coleman have length and athleticism to really make the traps effective.

And Carmouche and Hickey are real ball hawks and have a natural instinct for the steal.

3 of they guys we didn't have last year.

The first time they ran it, and very effectively,against Seton Hall CJJ said we had barely even practiced it.

I'll give Bullet credit for some things since he's been here, no doubt...but I think he'll be the first to tell (and has)that he has the players to press, just not the depth to do it for long periods.

He said as much in his post game interview yesterday, which is one thing that makes next season so scary, when you have a two deep (three deep in some positions) roster that is full of Hickeys, Carmouches, Morgans and Colemans it allows you to use the press more often. Next year's defense should be incredibly fun to watch
