spencer against tinsley. mitchell. he's fouled. credit tasmin mitchell, he's forced a couple of quick fouls on vanderbilt defensively. no what that means is l.s.u. can hold for the final shot. >> bob: indeed. amazing what subtle things that mitchell brings to the game, huh? not that he came in and knocked in a three or did a dunk or anything. it has kept them in position to be ahead at halftime. excellent coaching. >> eric: spencer up high. [ whistle ] he is fouled. vanderbilt has a foul to give. they'll make lo l.s.u. take the ball out of bounds on the baseline. >> bob: but if you get fouls on your best players they can add up. you do not want that for sure. >> eric: spencer. inside. floater. too strong! bass. it wouldn't matter. bass misses the jumper. l.s.u. will go to the locker room ahead of kevin stallings and the vanderbilt commodores. winless tigers on top of vanderbilt by one. 28-29 is the score. l.s.u. with confidence heading to the break. now to whit watson with the cellular south halftime report. >> whit: all right, eri

and bass and spencer.ittle different look now for l.s.u. >> eric: we're going to have a foul 30 feet away. ezeli. that's his second foul. ogilvy will come on to replace ezeli on the floor. >> bob: a good combination with size with the guys. good combination. that would be production from the position. >> eric: bo spencer has a hard time inbounding it. calls a time-out. l.s.u. with two time-outs remaining. >> bob: so this game, eric, has been a very interesting feel. very unusual. you would not expect l.s.u. obviously to be close in a game against vanderbilt here. however, they have done it with mitchell out in the first half with fouls now. the foul trouble is adding up. they did it by patient offense, 2-3 zone out of it and vanderbilt not having a good night offensively. vanderbilt's problem, of course, is jacobs is not in the game, he's their second best three-point shooter. as a result, they are struggling a little bit against the zone. >> eric: l.s.u. looking for their first win if conference play. the

actually, bo spencer is going to stay in.ve seen bo spencer signal twice to the bench he wants to come out but he's still on the floor. >> bob: it happened to me one time where one of my players started to play well and he got tired and kept signaling over. the official said he's signaling. i said ignore him. just ignore him. he will get better. that's what trent is thinking right now. this is difficult for spencer to handle the ball in the backcourt against pressure. ts

media and here comes this guy, john sears who wanted to run ford's campaign that got passed over to spencer and roger martin and others were running at and he ends up running riggins's campaign that this is a great acquisition in the eyes of the national media because they didn't know much about this guy called reagan from california even after his career in hollywood and the circuit is, 3,000 miles is a long way, you didn't have the internet, cable television, talk radio, didn't have salles phones so it's a big country and the size of 3,000 miles away so the guy they do know, john sears who's got this national political experience he's going to run freakin''s campaign. that impresses the national media. but reagan comes close as we all know in 1976. some say because john gough and close and others say it because john schip and new york and in ohio and in new jersey and other primaries but there was a good acceptable back up which is why it took so long to fire john in 1980 because there wasn't anybody of johns stature and the other thing weighing on reagan and mrs. reagan as well is the fa
