Kent Lowe steps in and steps up
Kent Lowe - Sr. Associate Sports Information Director (1-1-10):
I was fortunate to get to witness some of Coach Sue Gunter’s milestone wins at LSU and through a certain set of circumstances, I was able to witness Coach Van Chancellor capture his 500th collegiate win on Wednesday when LSU’s defense stepped up and made a statement against a very good Xavier team.As many of you know I’ve been the men’s basketball SID for 22 years now and for many years did color on home games with Patrick Wright on women’s games. Due to scheduling situations with a lot of our staff in Orlando for the bowl game and with the LSU men playing in Cincinnati the night before, it just made sense for me to stay and cover the women’s game as well. That’s what our sports information staff does is help each other out to make sure we cover things in the right way.So it was a pleasure to watch the game up close from courtside, I’ve know Coach Chancellor and Coach Starkey for years as well as the other members of the staff. It was a lot of fun and I hope I was able to provide women’s basketball SID Bill Martin some notes and stats that helped him write the story from long-distance in Orlando. I will return to my role as one of the team’s favorite spectators and hopefully I’ll be able to help Bill again during a long post-season run.
Geaux Lady Tigers!
