LSU Prevails on "Sportsmanship Saturday"

Sportsmanship was the theme for LSU today as they took the court against Louisville.  In our pre-game huddle we spoke about how important it is to be good sports when you win a game, or when you are in first place.

At the top of the sportsmanship list was Coach Lane (Ryan's Dad), who kept score for both the LSU game and the later Peapack-Gladstone game against Manville.  Ryan Lane displayed good sportsmanship all game long as he kept cool with the Louisville center riding his back the entire game.  Nick Liccardi displayed good sportsmanship after he took a hit to the nose.  He stayed in the game, and did not complain.  Those were just two examples of an entire team of good sports.

Oh, and yes, they did win 40-20 over an improved Louisville squad.  Fantastic Fifth Graders  poured in points today:  Ryan Lane (6), Noah Kleitsch (4) and Miles Kenny (4) boosted the LSU fortunes.  Walter Rivas and Will Howes continued their hot shooting with 13 apiece in limited minutes.

Murphy LaFerle and Jesse Milesnick contributed often with rebounds and good passes.

The win brings LSU's record to 6-1, and places them in sole possession of first place after rival Texas lost their second game this morning.
