Look for that to change tonight, making it all the more important that Vandy limit their offensive rebounds and second-chance points when the Tigers do miss.<br /><br />I disagree somewhat with Bobby O about the Commies' height disadvantage because I think our shooters actually create matchup problems for them. We start four players who can all shoot from outside, while their forwards (Lazare, Mitchell, Davis) may have difficulty stepping out to defend the three. That will especially be the case if Dan Cage comes to play (as he's been doing for the past 10 games), because the less-experience Darnell Lazare will have trouble keeping track of him.<br /><br />In the past few games, we've been very eager to get out and run on offense, which could present problems for LSU. When we're not doing that, look for Skuchas and Metcalfe to get more minutes than usual bodying up on "Big Baby" Davis so Neltner isn't shouldering the whole load.<br /><br />Finally, after Auburn beat the pants off Alabama last night, this game becomes all the more important. LSU hasn't lost a home SEC game since 2004 and are looking to make it 20 straight tonight. From that angle, they're due for a home loss..."and we're just the guys to do it."
