Putting aside the talk of how many legit/fringe/star/journeymen NBA players we may have - Do you feel this team has underachieved/is underachieving?

Legit question. My answer is yes, I definitely thought going into the season we would be anywhere from a 7-10 seed in the tourney. Now a) there's still a CHANCE, albeit tiny, that we could get a 10 seed and b) personally, looking around the country and watching other college basketball games night in and night out, I put way more blame on the players. I watch on average 5-6 other basketball games a week. What I see is a lot of individual, play-making basketball. It's gotten to the point in college where there aren't a ton of set plays that just automatically work, so you have to have players who can break a defense down. I think this is an area LSU lacks badly. And I keep saying that if Mickey and Martin were NBA players, they should be able to score at any given point.
