![]() In the moments before tip-off, Nick the Quick jumps up on the scorer's table and waves a towel and beats his chest and cries a warrior cry to the rafters. It's so stirring, so charming and crazed that the LSU guys join in, waving their own towels, crying their own cries. For an instant, at the noisy peak of it all, something magical and wildly unexpected seems possible. But only for an instant. Final score: LSU 111, Cincinnati 80 |
