We will see LSU and Dort tonight

Post by charlestonalum »

Both Dort and LSU back for Vanderbilt tonight. Hope Dort can get rebounds in his limited action. We have to rebound to win - I think it comes down to that if we can manage our offense as we have recently. Will be a tough matchup for us.

a win might make our recent loss to them a bit more tolerable to the committee since it will be "avenged"...or maybe not

Glad Dort will be back his size will definitely help. This team can win tonight if they play like they have been but rebounding has to be priority.

IF *anti-jinx, anti-jinx* we get passed LSU, having an extra big body in Dort to throw at Tshiebwe could be the difference.

No way we will win tonight. Despite their 2-16 SEC record, they are just too good for us.

I see what you did there…

Agreed. They beat UGA despite really poor shooting. But limited turnovers and crushed the offensive boards. Without Robbins VU doesn’t stand a chance in limiting offensive rebounds and second chance points.

If Dort can give us 12-15 minutes that would be huge. QMB will play his heart out but he needs a chance to catch his breath.

Dort giving some good mins will be huge for us. On top of rebounding we the other thing I will note is we need to keep Ezra out of foul trouble. Ezra went out early in Baton Rogue with two fouls and it allowed LSU to chip away at an early lead we had and get a lead of their own.

I mean, we've faced much tougher matchups and somehow came out with an 11-7 record. We are not to the point where we can overlook anyone, but let's not oversell LSU. I suspect they will have our full attention if that is what happened last time. I am sure Jordan will be properly motivated.

I hope we can at least keep it close and respectable.
