3. There was an incredible Tiger moment that I seriously doubt was picked up on the TV broadcast. We made a basket that brought our score to 44, and Maryland took a time out. Most of the Tiger fans in attendance looked up at the scoreboard and it sunk in that the score was set to Wayde’s jersey number. The Tiger faithful went crazy, and the kids in the huddle definitely picked up on it.


I regret that I have but one upvote to give you for relaying that.

13. I don’t know what’s going to eventually happen regarding Will. I don’t know if we’ll finish running the table. I don’t know if it will be vacated if we do. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade the experience of following these young men and enjoying their grit and their desire to win


Hell fricking yeah. Couldn't be better said. Thanks for being a great LSU fan, and really getting it. Greatest basketball season I've watched, and it's not even close.

Thanks for the recap, man! You add an awful lot for us that we can't get from the broadcast. I look forward to your post after the DC game.

FWIW, congrats to you and your wife traveling like rock stars to support our Tigers!

Hope to see you in DC next weekend. Would be glad to buy you a beverage of your choice.

Geaux Tigers!! You are truly living the dream this season and it's been a blast reading about it.

Most of the Tiger fans in attendance looked up at the scoreboard and it sunk in that the score was set to Wayde’s jersey number. The Tiger faithful went crazy, and the kids in the huddle definitely picked up on it. Keep it going Tigers- they’ve got 5, but we’ve got 6!


The broadcast did show this, but didn't really capture all of the fan reaction.

6. I was going nuts when Maryland went to the zone and we continued to shoot 3’s without much success. If they were going to do that, I would love to have seen Graves in and let him have a chance to break the zone.


Zone defenses have been this team's Achilles' heal all year. I'm betting Mich State will be working on theirs this week.

quote:

10. With 2 minutes to go in the game, looking at our timeout huddle at our bench, I had to smile. Guess who was doing the talking? It wasn’t Tony Bedford or any of the other assistants- it was a very vocal Skylar Mays. Thanks Skylar for your maturity, thanks for the great head on your shoulders, and thanks for your clutch play, especially at the foul line.


Most of what I caught from that time out was Skyler telling everyone, "Relax, we got this" as he came off the court.

Thanks folks for all the kind comments. It’s a pleasure giving these perspectives from all the places on the road. It actually gives me a whole new outlook on the games, because instead of just watching them, I now watch them with this question:

What would someone who didn’t get to come really like to know?
