The Bracket Beckons

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

I went to USA Today's web site to set up our bracket pool today and I was surprised to see an article about the LSU basketball team on the front page of the sports section.

The article talks about how the No. 17 Tigers play six players all from the Baton Rouge area. Most teams have players from all over the country, so it's quite unusual that LSU's top six players are all from the same regional area. These guys have been playing with or against each other since they were youngsters, and that probably has helped them to their 22-7 overall record.

LSU has been playing without 6'9 freshman forward Tyrus Thomas, who has been out with an ankle sprain. Thomas will probably be back for the NCAA tournament, and I sure hope he makes it back because he is a big part of the Tigers' game.
