re: LSU vs. Tulane - 7:30ct (Exhibition)

The write up in the Advocate said Epps wasn't making the trip and Combs isn't playing. So take that FWIW

Final Score Prediction

Tulane 40

I know it's an exhibition game, but if that is the final score, HOLY shite that's bad!

Certainly there is going to be a MUCH greater emphasis on defense, but I don't expect LSU to slow the game down to a crawl like Wisconsin or Virginia. At VCU last year Wade's team was in the top 1/3rd of the country in Tempo (pace of play). They also averaged 75 ppg. and held opponents to 67 ppg.

While a comparison of this year's LSU team to last year's VCU team is not necessarily an "apples to apples" comparison, if the final score is 52-40 then that means there was some atrocious basketball being played. I'm hoping for somewhere in the 80-65 range.
