Talent was not the problem for Arky. Going by pure talent they are the 5th or 6th best team in the SEC IMHO.

They had some SERIOUS locker room issues the very much undermined and compromised the product on the floor.

At this point it seems they have to at least some extent found some level of balance in the program where they have gotten past some of the issues the derailed them and are playing up to their true talent level now.

And the fact that it's better than ours and we're going there does not bode well for us.

As I've indicated before I'd place our relative talent level in the SEC overall in the 8-10 range.

Arkansas is easily the most underachieving team this year in the SEC. But they can be good when they put it together and even before the last 3 games for LSU (and Arkansas) I always though the road game at Arkansas was going to be very tough for LSU.

3-1 is a reasonable and very achievable goal in the final 4 games for this team. In fact, anything less than 3-1 will be very disappointing

Even though LSU has a couple of last second wins over Kentucky and South Carolina, LSU has never been top 5-6 of the league caliber good overall. They were really more in that group of teams between Mississippi St. - Arkansas. From an overall record standpoint only Vanderbilt and Missouri have a worse record than LSU (Arkansas has the same 14-13 record). Still, it would be nice to see LSU finished close to the top of the "2nd tier" group.

Getting 3 of 4 down the stretch will put LSU at 17-14 (9-9) for the season. That's not "good". But it is definite improvement from last year and give the program more positive momentum going into the offseason than they at the end of last season.
