5 Reasons You Should Be At Every LSU Basketball Game This Season

We all know it to be true, LSU is primarily a football and baseball school. Alex Box and Tiger Stadium are filled with energy on game days, we look forward to football season all summer long and our spring is filled with good weather and talk of how the baseball team is doing this year. These are things that make going to LSU so exciting, but I think we are so focused on football and baseball, we sometimes tend to forget about our basketball team. It is not just LSU, its the SEC in general. In the South, life rotates around football, which is so much fun, but basketball is pretty cool too. Here are the main reasons to never miss a game this season


1. BEN SIMMONS.

He's going to end up being the guy to beat this season. He's the guy everyone is talking about right now and you certainly don't want to miss out. At 6'10, he handles the ball and has a descent outside shot. He's the Fournette of basketball.


2. Brandon Sampson.

He's not necessarily the big name this season, but he's certainly going to be a player to keep your eyes on. He had a phenomenal opener at the exhibition game and proved to everyone that even as a true freshmen he will dominate in the season opener against McNeese State.


3. It's indoors.

You won't freeze, and you won't die of heat like in football and baseball. So even if you don't want to go, you don't even have a real excuse this time.


4. It will give you something to do after finals.

After the first week of December, things around Baton Rouge will get slow; don't stay bored in your room, get yourself some priority points so you can go to away games next season. What better way to recover from the finals blues than to watch a little basketball.


5. We have the potential to beat Kentucky.

While we may not be a "basketball school" yet, we have the potential to beat THE "basketball school." That would certainly be something you do not want to miss. They came so close last season, but this team has the potential to make a big run and go deep in the tournament.


With big name signees like Wayde Sims and Skylar Mays, the LSU basketball program is something to watch. It'll be so important to have a consistent fan base. It really is so true that the players use the noise and the energy from the fans. Don't miss out on a great season of basketball. If you're feeling bored between seasons, head to the PMAC and cheer on your Tigers!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
