Heart of Gold
Two weeks ago I wrote about the Heart of Orange from Syracuse. Tonight, I saw the Heart of Gold out of LSU live from Atlanta.
Exactly what I said would happen…happened. LSU’s quickness and athleticism was too much for Duke. Defense takes a lot of heart. They held Duke to their lowest total since 1996 and JJ to only 11 points. Darrell Mitchell and Glenn Davis lead the way, but I’d have to give co-MVPs to two true freshman in #14 Garrett Temple and #12 Tyrus Thomas. Temple didn’t let off JJ the whole night. I saw JJ get two open looks…he made one and missed the other. Thomas is a blocking machine. Shelden Williams hadn’t seen anything like that all year.
There isn’t much more to say about it.
