LSU getting Thomas back makes them a different team.  They'll clip some folks.  Glad it wasn't us.

Acuff is one of the best players to ever wear the jersey.  Thomas is right behind him.

But the key to how good we will be is our front court, and Knox.  Coming into the season Oweh and Knox were considered neck and neck. 

Pringle, Ewin and Brazile are going to have to get better defensively.  Our problems are biting on every head fake and defensive position.  It's been a problem all year giving guys a lane,  inexplicably we just do the ole' and don't play in front.  Those habits have to get cleaned up.

Agree.  I've never seen a team worse against the ball fake.  Knox and the bigs fall for it every time.

Pringle gets heat about his hands,  but his footwork is just as awful.  He's reactive all the time, especially on the defensive glass.  Worst ball instincts I've seen.

I agree that this might be one area where you can't coach it out.  It's due to not being in position in the first place, and having to "catch up". 

Basketball is so much instinct, which you either have or don't. 

We got outrebounded today by 8.  Usually that's a guaranteed loss for us.  Today Acuff heroics bailed us out.

We were there and I was shocked at the crowd.  Didn't think we would have near that many people there.

It was a good win.  But shooting something like 33% from the foul line and getting out rebounded is not a recipe for long term success.

Acuff looked like he could score any time he wanted to.  Brazile made the one big 3, but we need more points from him to win in the long run. Not sure Cal shouldn't run a few plays for him early in the game to get his shot going.

Crowd looked great on TV.  I assume people from the upper deck moved down?

LSU has only lost 2 games with Thomas in their lineup. He missed a lot of time with an injury.

People were in the upper deck as well. There was easily 14-15k in the building.

You had to have a ticket to get in.

Agreed. Need TB engaged from the jump. It's like he's engaged for 2 games in a row, then the next game he looks like he would rather be anywhere but at the game he's playing in.

They should do something like that every game. 

Make every season ticket holder opt in (either commit to going themselves or having them sold) by 24 hours before tip off.  If the tickets go unused, offer them for free to students.

This might actually work.  My first thought was how would you police it?   You could take away priority points for each game tickets go unused.

With the way tickets are transferred now, you can buy tickets on seatgeek right before the game starts. For way less than admission price. We don't wait that late since we're driving up, but if I lived up there.

I imagine there's a whole lot of ticket holders not paying attention to any kind of announcements, plus a whole nother set who are still trying to get them to friends, family, or woopiggers under the 24 hour window.

I'm sure it's been said here already...

But of all of the amazing things Acuff does I might be most impressed with his ability to take a game we're getting roughed up in and strap the team on his back and carry us to victory

It's happened over and over this year

Just incredible for a freshman

Great crowd, those of you that went should be damn proud of it.  Hell of a show for our fanbase.

We possibly won't win a championship with Cal(I wouldn't bet against it), but just getting to cheer for this much elite talent is worth it even if we don't.

By the way, LSU still hasn't made it home yet.  Or at least not all of them.  There is an LSU bus in the ditch on some backroad in Polk  County around Mena somewhere because the dummy driving followed bad GPS directions.
