    Memphis Tigers - HC alum Penny Hardaway in his 1st season taking over after Tubby Smith was shitcanned. Similar to Wade, hes garnering a lot of attention in recruiting and looking to implement his own brand of basketball. But as with most ex star players, I dont think he has an actual plan. We will see. LSU is favored by 10'.


    Sr Guard Jeremiah Martin led the team in points, steals and assists last year and is the one to watch. Although coming of hernia surgery last month he still played well game 1.

    Sr Forward Kylon Davenport scored 30 with 10 boards last game in a win over UT-Chat. At 6'8 I look for Reid to get in his way.

    F 0 Kyvon Davenport 6 ft 8 Sr
    G 1 Tyler Harris 5 ft 9 Fr
    G 2 Alex Lomax 5 ft 11 Fr
    G 3 Jeremiah Martin 6 ft 3 Sr
    G/F 4 Raynere Thornton 6 ft 6 Sr

    They look small to me. Im not sure they can keep pace with our size and scoring in transition. They turn the ball over 15x a game. Hoping for a breakout game for Marlon Taylor. This kid would be starting on many teams. Hes having trouble getting minutes but hes got skills that will surface eventually. Really dynamic and explosive off the ball.

    Its in Baton Rouge where its rainy and cold and a good night for a basketball victory. Crowds have been impressive so far. Looking to go 3-0.

    84-76 LSU.

    Looks like Memphis wants it more right now, they look a little smoother, we look more athletic. LSU can’t pull away.

    Defended it pretty good last game but UNCG shot well. We arent defending at all here. Mays having himself a half after that monster dunk. Good for him with the other 2 guards getting all the pub usually. 14 for him.

    48-39 good guys.

    So far I’d say WW is getting out coached. LSU up by 2, but not high IQ ball.

    Haven't seen waters this out of synch add smart and Naz to the mix. Gotta control the ball but we are having issues. Good test for this group.

    Shit I think that was 4 on Reid. Why Will with 11 mins.

    Game 1 I was picturing poor kids in hs less than a yr ago trying to defend him.
