Nichols Scores an Upset Over LSU

[zeppelincajun]

And we complain about our home schedule. Mickeyneese played the College of Biblical Studies Ambassadors last night. Located in Houston with 460 students. Wow.

Yet they outdrew our opening night crowd against a D1 opponent...

Jalen White (winning shot) played there last year, after leaving a talent gravyard.

Correction.......I don't know how I missed that, my apologies. In 33 games or 165 starts (5x33), Nicholls had 1 guy that started 2 of the possible 165 total starts last year.

The blind squirrel caught the tiger sleeping. State got so far behind, had nothing left at the end. And State was predicted to finish second to last in conference, they’re not all that and a bag of chips.

The stars simply aligned for Nicholls.

All true.

The other avenue is to greatly increase the opportunities.

From LSU's, standpoint playing Nicholls (and not Louisiana) was suppose to lower the chances of the blind squirrel...

Nicholls has two South Alabama transfers who are very good players. They hit 12 threes and the Tigers hit 3 of them. Hitting from outside is the great equalizer.

How do you know the closed scrimmage was against Nicholls?
