Im so tired of people talking about our lack of depth. Look at Duke. They have no depth. They play 1 player off the bench over 8 minutes. And 2 guys 6-8 minutes. That's it. But yet they played a tougher schedule and have more wins plus better wins. Depth in college basketball is only used with foul trouble.

While I do think depth can be a factor because of foul trouble and/or injuries, I do agree it's very much overplayed here and elsewhere.
Hell, LSU's best teams have been similarly depth challenged.
Our 2006 team played 8, with Rolle and Voogd being our 7th and 8th guys and they usually only played 4-8 minutes per game outside blowouts.
Our 1986 Final Four team basically played 7 guys after Nikita was ruled ineligible mid-season.
Even the best team in LSU history, the 1981 squad basically played 6 players the bulk of minutes, with Black, Tudor and Johnny Jones minutes going down as the year progressed.
I could go on and on in this vein, but there are several issues this year that concern me more than depth.
