That's probably about right. It sucks that he only does so in "big" games, but Jones will come out and coach with emotion from the tip. He did it last year against UK (both times) and UF this year. Far too many other times you get the Jones who just stares blankly like he's trying to divide 367 by 58 while his team implodes on the court (see MSU)
That, plus the energy of the crowd, should bring out some energy in the team. IMO, LSU has a big problem with coming out and being lethargic to start games. Especially in "dead" arenas (which the PMAC has often times been) There are times when it seems like Martin and Gray especially, look as if they are falling asleep on the court. That should not be a problem for against UK.
For me the things to watch are:
1. Can LSU get on the run early and often. If UK is allowed to set up on defense in the half-court, I don't think LSU's offense is efficient enough to do consistent damage against UK's D.
2. Can LSU force UK (other than Booker) to settle for 3's. If so, then LSU could have a shot (if they also rebound). However, if UK is hitting threes it will be time to just pack it up and go home.
3. Can someone other than Hornsby get hot from outside? There is no JOBIII for LSU this year and Mickey/Martin don't have the post games to dominate inside. UK is too good on defense. LSU will HAVE to knock down outside shots. TQ, Gray, Patterson, someone will have to get hot.
