After a tough 81-80 loss LSU faces the NC State Wolfpack in the 3rd place game of the Legends Classic.

So ready for some revenge.

Last season's NCAA Tournament meltdown still stings, so this year we should really wanna kick some arse.

I haven't gotten to watch NC State any this year, but they still have Barber who killed us with 17 points, Abu (scored 13), and Freeman. They lost Lacey and Turner.

NC State so far

NC State 68, William & Mary 85 (OUCH)
NC State 88, S Alabama 70
NC State 79, IUPUI 56
NC State 76, Arizona St 79

They don't shoot particularly well, but haven't turned the ball over much and get to the FT line. LSU has to make sure they don't get into any unnecessary foul trouble.

Unfortunately LSU missed shots last night. We went into the game hitting 38% of our three's and only hit 29% last night. Either have to hit those or get to the basket more.

I think we get there.

Prediction:

LSU 1.05PPP
NC St 1.03PPP
74Possessions


LSU 78, NC St 76

Just need a bounce back win today. Getting closer and closer to the return of Hornsby and debut of Victor.

Marquette was just a bad bad matchup for us inside. Called it in the pre-game thread their 2 bigs would be a nightmare for us to defend, especially with ER III not even being 100%. Victor is someone we need desperately for this team to make a run to help handle bigs from other teams.

As we found out last night, Simmons cant do everything himself. If nobody else can defend, rebound or hit 3's, Simmons cant win it by himself. He should have had a triple double last night if those 3's fall.

I'm not saying I'm happy LSU lost, but I am happy we are playing NC State.

frick this shite.

One of my schools is going to go 0-2, im pissed

Ive watched every second of both teams.

Gottfried is such a better coach than JJ but State is still figuring out its identity for who scores. Both team just lost to meh teams, so when two meh teams play each other, all bets are off.

I'll be there.

I am so happy Arizona St won so we get another shot at NCSU. Been waiting on this one.

Gotta get this W. Last night left a sour taste in my mouth. Last March, even worse.

Yeah, we can't afford Blakeney to be that cold shooting when we're out two starters.


The loss sucks given everything surrounding LSU on top of Marquette being meh (other than their post), but it was one of those games where it was the perfect storm of everything going wrong, yet still almost won

Sucks we lost last night, but we need the W today. Gotta at least split up there.

Tiger talent on display, seeking NCAA tournament revenge were back again at Barclays in the early goings against NC state. Shots falling mainly off fast break opportunities tigers beating the pack down the floor with relative ease

When Simmons has the ball we need more. We need to have some plays for Ben Simmons not just him dribble at the top of the key

Why isn't Simmons going to the basket. He could had easily scored?
