My favorite moment of the win was after coach Jones thanked the crowd Andre was waiting at beginning of bench for him. As soon as coach got over there Andre gave him a huge bear hug for a few seconds and when stopped hugging coach walked with his arm around Andrew to locker room. Andre had a monster smile on his face.
He's endured so much his time here with limited reward. From asking to play out of position his fresh and soph year and constant ridicule of his play those 2 years to just being on teams that didn't have the talent/coaching. I was just pumped he got a reward for sticking it out and being a key contributor to a team that has some goals within reach

Couldn't agree more with this. Stringer will forever be an enduring tiger for what he went through in the TJ era and now is one of the leaders ushering in the new era of LSU basketball. Love to see his hustle and determination finally pay off.

Hickey nailing the step back 3 then looking right at Calipari for a good few seconds was one of my favorite moments as well.
