BATON ROUGE – It wasn’t 10 minutes in the practice session when a loose ball rolled by LSU Coach Johnny Jones Saturday evening and in pursuit were four or five players in purple and gold practice jersey who all ended up diving on the floor trying to keep or get the basketball for their respective units.
In the group were first-year players and team veterans all showing the effort that the LSU team will need to be successful in the upcoming 2015-16 season. But first is an upcoming exhibition trip to Australia for five games against professional teams and All-Star teams from the National Basketball League.
