re: Our two league losses are against the two worst teams we've played.

Meh. I'll give you UGA for A&M but we had no business losing to Mizzou.

It's a fine line. LSU had UGA beat in regulation and couldn't make the FTs to put them away. On the flip side, Mizzou had LSU beat in regulation. Hornsby just made a tough 3 to get the game to OT.

It seems like the team and coaching staff shows up a lot more focused for the "better" teams. Notice that even Jones coached with a bit more emotion against UGA, OM and UF. Hopefully A&M was a turning point for all involved to learn that this team is not good enough to win an SEC game by just "showing up." Though it may not be his style, Jones has to have a bit more energy on the bench. His team feeds off of that. Likewise, there cannot be a lapse of focus for LSU in any game. They're too undisciplined at times to add unforced errors due to lack of energy to the mix.
