BATON ROUGE - In its final match before conference play, the LSU volleyball team (5-6) fell 3-0 to No. 13 Florida State (7-2) 26-24, 25-10, 25-18 Sunday afternoon inside the Maravich Center.The Seminoles fired off a .277 hitting percentage in the match. Although not one FSU player hit double-digit kills, the squad took advantage of LSUs 26 errors and .144 hitting percentage.Florys Thoughts I think we did a great job of preparing how to stop and defend Florida State. I think we created every opportunity defensively to beat them. We held them to 31 kills and did a really good job in a lot of ways.Unfortunately, we didnt perform on the offensive and ball control side. We have to focus in and balance throughout the match. Its part of having such a young team. I thought we played hard and smart though but have to work on that part.Whats Next? LSU opens up Southeastern Conference play against Auburn at 7 p.m. CT Friday.

Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. CHICAGO -- No matter how this season plays out, this much is clear about the Chicago Bulls: Theyre worth watching.They jettisoned one hometown superstar and welcomed another when they traded former MVP Derrick Rose and signed three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade.They also handed the keys to an All-Star guard in Jimmy Butler who called out his coach last season. And on top of that, they added mercurial point guard Rajon Rondo to the mix.Coming off a flat season that ended with them missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008, the Bulls at least spiced things up in the offseason. Now, its time to see if interesting also means better.I love the vibe of this group, Hoiberg said. I love the competitiveness of this group.The Bulls clearly had to do something after a year that began with high expectations ended with a 42-40 record, a fractured locker room and all sorts of questions about team leadership.Gone is Chicago native Rose -- derailed by injuries after leading the Bulls to heights they hadnt reached since the Michael Jordan Era -- after being dealt to New York for center Robin Lopez and guard Jerian Grant. So is Joakim Noah, who signed with Knicks not long after the big trade. Pau Gasol went to San Antonio as a free agent.Wade shocked Miami when he chose to come home to Chicago and accept a two-year deal worth about $47 million.Here are some things to look for this season from the Bulls, who open at home against Boston on Oct. 27:EYE ON THE BENCHThe Bulls thought Hoibergs fast-paced tempo and soft-spoken style were just what the team needed when he was hired. They just didnt think the learning curve would be as steep as it was. Hoiberg got called out by Butler last season for not coaching the team hard enough. The system and the roster did not mesh.So does Year 2 bring a better Hoiberg?Executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said he expects it. So does Hoiberg, who came to the Bulls after a successful five-year run at Iowa State.But is this the right roster for him? After all, Wade and Rondo are both in their 30s. And if the Bulls struggle, who takess the fall?THE WADE EFFECTWho knows what might have happened had Wade signed with the Bulls six years ago rather than form a superstar triumvirate with LeBron James and Chris Bosh in Miami? But hes here now, coming off a strong season and being counted on at age 34 to set the tone for the Bulls younger players.dddddddddddd The 12-time All-Star has been doing just that, speaking up in practice and meetings.FOLLOW THE LEADERIts been a steep climb for Butler from low first-round draft pick to bench warmer to two-time All-Star with an Olympic gold medal. But his success hasnt translated to team success. Butlers first All-Star season ended with Tom Thibodeaus firing. Last year, the Bulls dropped into the lottery. And while Wade and Rondo have said the Bulls are Butlers team, its not clear exactly how far he can lead them.I can learn from (Wade and Rondo), the winning culture theyve built, Butler said. Im excited because theres so much growth I can handle in that aspect of the game. You look at what Wade has done for his career, a future Hall of Famer. I think that I can model the way I do things around him.ON POINTWhile the Bulls added scoring punch and the reigning assists-per-game leader in Wade and Rondo, they still lack a starting guard who can consistently hit from long range. That was a problem last season with Rose and Butler, who moves to small forward.Spacing could be a problem when Rondo, Wade and Butler are on the court together, though the Bulls do have solid shooters in Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott. Gasols departure also creates a scoring hole in the paint.RONDOS REVIVALRondo is coming off a resurgent season with Sacramento that saw him average 11.9 points and a league-leading 11.7 assists. It was the fourth time he averaged a double-double in a season and the first for him since the 2012-13 season. The four-time All-Star has clashed with coaches, most notably Dallas Rick Carlisle, and his relationship with Hoiberg could be one to watch. ' ' '
