I believe both schools benefited from this exhibition.

Well, that leads to a follow-up question. Was LSU playing their starters or were they treating this like the Saints treat pre-season games?tpstulane wrote:Doesn’t countRobert1969 wrote:Does this game count or just an exhibition?tpstulane wrote:Wave wins 84-74 best team won.
No both teams played to win. LSU just shot horrible. They killed us on the boards though.Robert1969 wrote:Well, that leads to a follow-up question.

We had 0 offensive rebounds in the first half.
LSU out rebounded us 48-39, but 19-3 on the offensive boards.

Probably no video. I shot a video of the last 1 minute of the game to record the win.Ruski wrote:Thanks for the summaries. Wonder if there are video highlights anywhere?
The whole season is gonna come down to an improvment in the inside game. Last year I'd guess we won about 15% of the offensive rebounds and only like 20% of our points came inside the paint. To win conference games we're gonna have to get that up to like 40-45% rebounds and 35-40% points in the paint.
Kind of like in football teams figured us out/wore us down, realizing you can't sustain shooting from the arch all night.
Glad we beat them S.O.B. but would like to see the bigs get better.
