re: Who else is keeping the faith? (SEC tournament)

I'm frustrated and disappointed in the season at this point, but I will always watch until the buzzer of the last game. Hell, cinderella tourney runs are great, and if this team could somehow flip the switch, they'd be a terrifying opponent for anyone.
Seriously, imagine you're the fan of some high seed, and you get to face this horribly underperforming but talented squad, with everything suddenly working. Strictly based on personnel, LSU has the potential to match anything.
I mean, honestly, can you imagine facing some athletic team with nobody bigger than 6'7 and little depth, we force a slow-down, deliberate game, and... big Elbert just goes in and slowly destroys them inside? Because say what you want about him, if he's playing halfcourt in the post and you have to defend him with Quarterman, Elbert will win that matchup, and will improve as the game progresses. It would be the stuff of legends.

Meh. If he explodes in the NBA, I'll probably just be more frustrated about his play here.
