God you're miserable

they're an unimpressive 8-6 and not even sniffing the top 50 at 67. if i can look that up, the committee certainly isn't going to be fooled either

Or we can just wait and see where they actually end up. I love that you're trying to discount a road SEC win

Well the committee certainly can look up their RPI which dropped to an absolutely terrible #12.

I see you left that out of your post though

It is now. ONE of our problems is that 2 of our top 3 players were off the court. We've looked pretty damn good since getting them back actually.

But hey, you don't even think getting LSU into the tourney last year was a step in the right direction for this program. You ignore the history of LSU basketball since the early 90's, and ignore the fact that LSU hasn't made back to back tournaments since Daddy Dale, nor do you acknowledge that we haven't won a tournament game in back to back years since 86-87.

You're oblivious to the talent level we were left with and the damage our program took before JJ. This was a complete rebuild job. Year 3 tournament was the reasonable expectation, and we met it.

he results aren't even close to matching the obvious talent.

Who brought the talent in? Also, the season is far from over...

Once again: LSU won 12 SEC games the 3 years before hiring JJ.

They won 11 last year and finished #3 in the conference
