SLUperman

Give me Illinois and Mizzou. They scared to play little ol SLU down the street?

One of the most exhilarating games I've watched as a Bills fan. Shame the fans couldn't be there live for this one. Couple of my observations: Impressive win. LSU played an incredible second half. We took their best blows and and some responded well. Believe it or not.... we WON A GAME AT THE FT LINE!! Javonte Perkins is the best pure scorer to ever don a Billiken jersey. One of the purest shots I've ever seen. He has a spot in the league if he keeps playing like this IMO. Not joking. Cam Thomas is a stud. He'll be an NBA first rounder. French should shore up our 2nd half shoddy interior defense. Linssen brings great energy, but really could've used French's defense and rebounding in the 2nd. Jacobs stepped up huge in a game with no Thatch and Yuri and Goodwin in foul trouble. This team is special. Previous Bills teams definitely would've folded. Gonna be a great year!

Man, SLU looks very well coached today. They're doing all the little things right. Not overreacting to ball fakes, some really savvy and patient defensive plays. Making the skip passes. GREAT positioning for help defense driving LSU into dead ends. Not allowing any second chances to a very athletic LSU team. Creating contact and using it to our advantage on drives. Reminiscent of Majerus teams.

The SLU commercial just blew LSU's out of the bayou.

Interior defense and physicality has been great sans French. Definitely encouraging.

Yes, but w/ 9 of his 13 being beyond the arc, that's uncharacteristic for him. Take the extra step out, but I'd be OK with him continuing to fire away from 3 as long as we give a decent contest on him.

Jacobs has probably been our best guard so far tonight. He looks great.

Honestly don't mind if they keep giving Smart those looks, only a 29% 3p shooter

TJ with a Dwayne Wade-esque bait and block there. Heady defensive play

GREAT patience on that drive by DJ

Yuri's next step needs to be an outside shot. With his first step and playmaking ability, he's gonna have that look a lot. Gotta be able to reliably hit.

LSU is not super deep. Keep attacking and racking up those fouls.

That Perk midrange is AUTOMATIC

Getting good looks in transition. Gotta keep the pace up. These looks will start to fall.

LSU has us out of sorts early with their extended 2-3 zone. Not a lot of movement offensively. JBJ looks encouragingly active though.
