They need to win 23 games bro. We've played much better in the past 3 games, but have light years to go. We need to beat arkansas at least once and they are really good. Plus we have to beat sucky ole miss, auburn, miss. State Alabama, and we haven't played very well against those guys.

As of now doesn't count conference tournament upsets which there are usually a few! So go ahead and set us back about 5 spots. Does this team have the talent to get hot and go the NCAA 3rd or 4th round yes! Do they have the potential to fart around and lose 5-6 more games ..... Yes

We only play them once, this is at least the 3rd time someone has stated as such.

This is not even our schedule. LSU DOES NOT play MSU again nor Alabama.

We have to play Ole Miss again, but we beat them at Oxford earlier. AU is the only team that makes sense from your post since we lost to them 5 games ago.

Otherwise, everything you said is completely untrue and ignorant - at the very least.

It always has been IMHO relative to what an NCAA tournament is in today's college basketball climate.

We've just not played to our potential through much of our SEC schedule.

The last 3 games have shown progress in the fundamental areas that heretofore we'd shown none. Turnovers and shot selection.

Yeah, we reverted back a bit in the second half and that can be somewhat attributed to getting a bit too fat and happy.

Actually a good lesson if presented that way.

Last 8-10 games is always viewed as an indicator of teams worthiness . They have a chance now to be deemed worthy.....

considering the talent we have this season, I am disgusted to even have threads like this be worthy of discussion
this is of course the bigger picture. first, the fact that this discussion is even taking place means lsu is not a lock. if lsu is a lock, you don't even start a thread about it. you talk about who they're going to be matched up against.

second, this is the second season in a row with talent in the upper half of the conference. lsu significantly underachieved last season and is questionable for the tourney this year. if the tigers don't win at least a couple of ncaa tourney games, eyebrows should be furrowed when looking at jones.

The two best players on this team are MAYBE 2nd round NBA picks and both sophomores. Everyone else is a role player or bench fodder.
there is only 1 team in the conference that has more talent than lsu. do you see lsu playing like the clear 2nd best team in the conference? no. they might not even make the tourney.

But I still think the talent argument is overblown and used as a crutch.
probably because you are looking at lsu out of context and not considering the rest of the league.

This team could lose 3 in a row to inferior competition real quick and be out of it. How bout take it one game at a time since this team is different from game to game anyway.

On the way, stop off at Goodson's Cafe in Tomball or Sodalaks in Snook for an awesome Chicken Fried Steak.

no.

tonight was a big step in the right direction.

is UT good? meh, but LSU whipped them wire to wire. they are on the bubble right now, but certainly cannot take anything for granted. 20 wins doesnt guarantee a bid anymore, so I'd feel a lot better with 22-23
