re: Hoops: Can LSU go 9-7 in conference? I think so.

but we'll need to play great.

We really don't. We need to take better care of the basketball, keep Storm out of foul trouble, and make a few shots (i.e. what we did the first half of the season...)

Already at 1-1

Assumed losses:
Kentucky, @Florida, @Vanderbilt

Assumed wins:
Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee (all at home)

Really need to (and can) wins:
@Ole Miss, @ Auburn, @ South Carolina

Goddammit I want to win:
Alabama (home)

Splits:
MSU, Arkansas

Take our assumed losses, get our assumed wins, get our assumed splits (and lose to Bama at home
) and you finish 9-7. Improve on anything (beat Vandy, beat Alabama at home, get better than a split out of State OR Arkansas), and the season looks even better.

That's a TOTALLY achievable outcome.
