I don’t want to be a downer. But I don’t see Gonzaga circling us in their calendar. Might work better for us. Gonzaga usually plays a few good teams out of conference because their conference doesn’t do them any favors in seeding.


Uhhhhh.....So why again are you saying they won’t circle LSU to play....a quality team from a quality conference?....I guess their number 1 seeding last year was done by favor?

The thought process of yours is very confusing.

This should be a multiple year event. LSU might lose. The recruiting off this game might give the University a SEC championship.

If we win can we just send them all of our homeless? Don’t think they’d even mind

Yeah obviously we likely lose, but it’s still good for the team. Early season measuring stick and really get us ready for conference play.

Great get, but beating that team is going to be hard as hell.

They've got a 7-foot kid named Holmgren they just signed who's the No. 1 player in the country, plus they signed the No. 18 and No. 30 players in the country to play guard and they got Rasir Bolton from Iowa State as a transfer.

And what's back is pretty damn good, too. Drew Timme is back, and so are Andrew Nembhard and Anton Watson.

CBS has them No. 1 right now. I don't think they're wrong.

I agree but I like it. It reminds me of the 1980 team playing no. 1 DePaul in Chicago. That was an all-time great game even though we lost.

ANY LSU fan worth their salt would trade EVERY SINGLE victory in the history of the baseball program for Will Wade to cut down the nets next year. Hell, even for a final 4.


Let’s take it easy, friend. I want Wade to succeed as much as anyone, but this is silly

Where are you seeing this? Because I'm seeing NOTHING about an LSU/GU matchup? There was a tweet from Jeff Goodman two days ago that sources told him

quote:

"Gonzaga will play a highly ranked, Power 5 team in Seattle at the new Climate Pledge Arena on Dec. 4"


He then goes on to say:

quote:

Basically bringing the old Battle of Seattle back. Event will occur annually with Gonzaga as the headliner and Dan Shell of Oak View group managing event.


No one on the GU message boards are even mentioning LSU. Goodman's statement of "highly ranked, Power 5 team" is pretty ambiguous and open to vast speculation. That said, LSU isn't expected to be "highly ranked" going into next season...or ranked at all.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but where are these rumors coming from?

Definitely, but it's also great exposure for your program, gives the fans something to be excited about (especially those who might not normally tune in until March) and it's a great measuring stick of where your team is at when you face a team like that (win or lose).
