I don't want to sound like a Debbie downer, but we could be in for a let down. This game will be close. I expect LSU to win by 3. So much emotion was spent Tuesday night.

We lead the whole way. Yeah, it was an emotional win because of the magnitude of it, but not the type of win that leads to a letdown, IMO. I can see us coming out with a renewed vigor and really taking it to the pigs.

A 3 point win would not be a letdown IMO. Look, Arkansas has good players. Any win would be a good win. Only a loss would be considered a let down IMO

Arkansas is probably a better team than their 2-5 SEC record would indicate. Outside of the conf. opener against A&M, they've been in every game they've played. They beat UK and had close losses to some good teams (Mizzou, Fla., [Tenn pulled away late]). Likewise, outside of the SEC opener LSU has been in every game. I think these teams are pretty close in talent level and can't see this being anything but a tight game. Ark is in that group fighting for the 3rd (and maybe 4th) NCAAT spot from the SEC. It's a big game for LSU

Hopefully we can keep the energy from the Kentucky game. Starting out strong is key. Don't want to dig a hole early. Geaux Tigers

Cannot wait to be back in the PMAC!


Hopefully this team has found a new level of confidence they can carry forward.
I believe in our road to the Tourney.

The intensity from the second half of the bama game continued into the the Kentucky game...I expect the same Saturday. We win by at least 10

Ken Pom has us winning these next four games. I don't want to get my hopes up, but winning those would really put us on the NCAA tourney map.

Once you get settled in on the NCAA tourney talk, you almost have to play your way OFF the bracket as opposed to playing your way ON to the bracket. Us being projected as an at-large bid team before the season started is the main reason why we are on the bubble right now.

Still tons of work to do, but I truely believe that if we win these next four games we will have a really good shot at making the tourney. Of course we can't lose to UGA, Vandy, Moo State, or A&M after that stretch, but we can afford to lose @ UK, @ UF, and @ Arky if we take care of the other teams. That being said, it's going to be extremely tough for this team to finish out the season 12-6, but I can see us maybe dropping a game or two to one of the bottom teams and countering the loss(es) with winning one out of @ Arky, @ UF, and @ UK.

Gotta win tomorrow though

I think so too, alot of people who normally don't go were asking me about tickets....I'd like to think that was the situation with all the regulars.

LSU continues the focus on aggressive defense which leads to better offensive production. Reserves get some key minutes.

Given Arkansas's road woes I should be confident but I'm biting my nails over this one because of how inconsistent we've been this year.

If we get out of this with a one-point win I'll be ecstatic.
