The 13th Man is So Important

First of it was an unbelievable game and the circumstances with the Weather and the fact that we were playing a top 25 Kentucky team made it a classic and a moment people around LSU will be talking about for years...

The team played a almost perfect game everybody played their roles and they all played with energy and together.Johnny O was a complete Beast and He played like he had something to prove,He made quick decisions and when there was a double team he moved the ball quick and when they didnt double he dominated as he should. One thing that I think has not been mentioned enough is How well Anthony Hickey managed that game from the point guard position, he was doing things that dont show up on the stat sheet but it absolutely help us win that game. He pushed the ball in transition when it was their but made great decisions on bringing the ball back out when it wasn't there.

The new lineup has giving the team a boost starting out, Shavon has been lights out in IMO, His ability to get to the basket and either finish or get fouled has added an element that starting both little guards doesnt give us.

Like I stated before its not about who starts its about your IMPACT, Martin has done nothing but improve since coming off the bench and when its winning time he's been in the game, Andre could care less he just wants to win, but still done exactly what he's been doing still the 3rd leading scorer on this team shooting almost 41% from 3 and has probably been more effective since coming off the bench and when its winning time he's on the floor.

After the game I talked to Dre and I've never heard him more happy and excited and all him and Johnny keep saying was how the Crowd was and how the Fans being there and being loud got them going. You guys really have no idea how much the 13th man(fans/crowd/attendance)affects these guys mentally, if you see a packed house and your fans are screaming, it gives you a little extra incentive to have a good showing. Not saying they will win every game but they will feel like whether they win or lose it matters to you guys because you came out to support. I was watching the game on television and could feel the excitement of the Crowd. We are as much a part of this team as the players, so please continue to come out and support.
