The talent to win is on the court. We just have to better & cut down on the mental errors. That's what they call in the business "getting hot at the right time."

I don't see how the idea is so outrageous.
Do you mean except for the fact we've only won one SEC road game this season and that was against the team that is currently in dead-last place in the SEC?

It's not like teams have wiped the floor with us on the road. Every game has been competitive, including the travesty/piss-poor excuse for a game in Athens.

we have to learn that the refs for whatever reason want to allow home teams that are "slash and score" style teams to get to the rim, we have to change our defense to eliminate those lanes, bc its obvious they "let us play" at home but not on the road, we have to adapt and adjust or the road L's will continue

So, if we only lose by 2 or 3 points at TAM or Arkansas this week the tourney selection committee will count them as wins for us? You realize that moral victories are still losses, right?

To be fair, we narrowly lost to bama. They are so bad that if we were competitive that game, we would've won.

if we split these next two which i think we will, then that probably means we need to steal one of the kentucky and florida games. we've already beat kentucky so if we somehow pulled off a w at florida that would be enormous. still have to play at vandy down the road and that won't be easy. i think we can beat arkansas at the bud, just going to have to learn how to guard someone before saturday. we can only play so much zone especially on the road.

How the frick is this possible? Is Lunardi trolling?

I didn't think the UGA game ended our chances this season, but I for sure thought it would knock us off of his "Last 4 in"

nah, just going to have to take care of the ball and make them make shots. they look great at times at home(kentucky, almost knocked off florida) and beatable at others (mizzou). honestly, i dont think we will win but it's not as daunting as going to rupp or the o-dome. shite even the way vandy has been playing that may be a tougher game.

Just like a loss to UGA crushed our chances right? Oh wait... my bad.
Losing to A&M would be bad, a loss at Arkansas isn't even that bad of a loss

true, especially had we not lost to uga but arky is going to be in the bubble mix as well so it's basically a must win IMO.

I mean ultimately I agree, but I don't think a loss there is going to kill tournament chances (A&M on the other hand might). Let's get through Wednesday before we worry about winning at the Bud

I think LSU would win that game by 8-10 points honestly.

No, but you obviously are.

I can easily see 4 more SEC losses this season and possibly 5. That would leave us with a 10-8 conference record at best and that won't be good enough to get us in the NCAA tournament, unless we make it to the SEC tournament championship game.

That's the real world we live in.

Saying there is better than a 0% chance of us winning at A&M and Arky doesn't really make me obtuse. But whatever.

OK? All I EVER said was that it's not that ridiculous to think that we could win at A&M and Arkansas.
