Can the program finally break thru and win a big home game with a big crowd and a chance to create big momentum. Were due and we have the talent.

I really hope there is a great turn out and the lousy football program doesn't overshadow the promotion for this game.

Should be a fun one.

This would be the best win of the year so far. Georgia State has a better resume but LU has home court. It'd be fun to win this one.

They're likely about the same quality or better than Lipscomb so this will be a good measuring stick to see how we will end up in conference play.

Probably, although Kent State is 6-1, with a win over Vandy ( Garland went out with his meniscus injury early in that game). Wish I could be at this one. Still a bit early to know for sure how impressive GASTs win over UGA actually is. Their 2 losses are to 4-2 Montana and 7-1 Creighton. UGA blew out Kennesaw, so this may give us a bit of a clue as to where we are relative to the bottom of the ASUN.

Since getting off to a cold start, shooting 3-17 from 3 against the cupcakes, against D1 competition McGhee is shooting his treys at a 47% clip (16-34). He is just 1 point behind Scotty for the team scoring lead. I´m going to go out on a limb and say he will be our leading scorer this year and bring his ppg average up from it´s current 12.3 to somewhere in the 15 range.

We are going to need to bring our A game, to win this one. I didn't realize Georgia State was as good as they are.

I know where out of the BSC, but Radford beat #17 Texas at Texas last night. Beat Notre dame at ND earlier in the season. We will have our hands full at home with GSU.

First basketball game in a decade. I forgot what it was like to not be subjected to weather for a sporting event.

I'm not bringing nachos anywhere near my toddler. :D

Crowd looks like it would fill the new arena. Every three scares my daughter.

Pretty good game so far. As 20 stated, the crowd could fill the new arena. At half LU lead 32-29.

All Courtside seats are full. Maybe an eighth of the premium seats.

I'm going to come to more games this year. That asun mini pack looks great right now.

Dang impressive win. GA state didn't play well but still impressive nonetheless.

Very impressive win tonight. Looking forward to the Georgetown on Monday

What is this team? Such a convincing win. I know Georgia State did not play as well as they are capable of but we took advantage of that and dominated them, especially in the 2nd half. Good turn out it seemed. I hope that the support for this team continues to grow. The game on Monday against Georgetown could be interesting...

Here's GA State's thread for this game.

https://247sports.com/college/georgia-s ... 125576195/

Someone stated that we like beating Sun Belt teams, because we got blocked from the conference. I have to say that this is a true statement.

As stated already, this was a good game. Georgetown isn’t that good, but we still need to play our A-game. I’ve been waiting for us to play the Hoyas again.
