still a road SEC win (a team that happened to take a then top-5, now #16 Xavier team to the brink earlier in the season).

RPI #76, (9-4)(1-1) but, but, but...RPI at this point means nothing (yeah, especially after it went down after the road win).

LSU SUCKS!!!


Look, there's no sugar-coating it, Mizzou is a bad team. But it's still a road win in conf., and it comes at a time where the team could have just mailed it in after some absolutely horrible defensive performances. The defense wasn't good last night, but it was slightly better (Mizzou still missed a ton of open looks). Offensively, LSU is red hot from deep. Hopefully that continues.

Even with the non-conf. troubles, the fist three games of SEC play were ALWAYS going to be very winnable. It sucks that LSU wasted a great offensive performance against Vandy because they flat out refused to defend. Otherwise, they could be looking at a 3-0 start.

Fundamentally, the same defensive woes were there last night (the way LSU defends the pick-and-roll is mind-boggling!). However, some of the fundamental mistakes can be covered up with pure effort. They played with more effort in the second half and Jones, who I give a ton of grief on this board, coached with more energy last night. It was great to see him get fired up when LSU went on their big run in the 2nd half. IMO, he has to do that all game because this team has a troubling tendency to only play hard when they have to.

He really did. All the other things aside, e.g. how terrible Mizzou is and how we still did a lot of the same infuriating things we've done all along, this was encouraging.

If anything, the OP is being guarded in his prediction.
Looking ahead, nothing can stop this team from the Elite Eight.
It's a juggernaught.

why does it have to be one way or the other?

I'm an LSU basketball fan that roots for the team to do well regardless of who coaches them.

Coach Jones has gotten some things corrected on the defensive end and it will show tonight. Ill bump this in a few weeks.



LSU basketball fans are disinterested in general and I for one am at the point where I'm as excited with a 40 point loss as a 2 point win simply to get Johnny out of here.

Rooting against your team and believing they won't go on a 7 game win streak are two different things.

That would have to include winning on the road at Arkansas and at home against Florida. What are you smoking?

Not you, numbnuts. Tiger81 is LSUBEATLES brother's account that BEATLES posts from sometimes. You have a long way to go before you become nearly as annoying as he was.

Tiger81 = LSUBEATLES sometimes, yes. The admins know about it.

ETA: Feel free to RA him, but I kinda miss my little buddy.
