Was at LSU game. How'd we look?

Jrue played great in limited time.

Jones was also terrific.

AD lit it up.

Don't know about the "tempo", but they had the best ball movement I've seen this season (though I haven't watched the last 3 games).

it was fast in the 1st quarter. they were trying to match the trail blazers' pace and they were for a while. but then they started to better control the tempo (maybe the first time all year i've seen them do that) and started to play more in half court sets, running the shot clock down. portland missed a lot of open shots. and the refs were definitely in our favor tonight (although i think portland had more FTs).

overall, the best game they've played this season. maybe the best since Al got here. they were great on both ends of the court. final score doesn't even tell the whole story because with about 4 minutes left in the game, pretty much all the starters got pulled.

Which is exactly what we hired Gentry to do.
