Take a look at the NET rankings and KenPom, I know those aren't primary reasons but they do factor in, I think.
People basically see aTm as a better team than LSU and one game rarely changes that perception. They have an identity as a stingy defensive team, LSU really doesn't have an identity, to me. If LSU can string together a couple of more SEC wins they will probably move up a bit in those. I think if they put together a good consistent 40 minutes, it will help perception. The team has not done that very often if at all. I think the identity they want is good defense and points in transition off of turnovers and defensive rebounds. I think, not sure though. Consistent play should clarify that.

Is there a reason LSU is 2 point underdogs tomorrow at home vs A&M?
I could probably explain odds, probability, etc. to OP and wouldn't make any difference at all, let alone in relative terms to LSU Basketball.

LSU’s NET since Cook got eligible is #6. Check my math.
