LSU basketball SEC schedule analysis and dispelling myths...

LSU is 9-3 in SEC, 6-0 home, 3-3 road.

Something that has been tossed around and even today on CBS, Gottlieb said LSU's toughest SEC schedule is upcoming. I think this is disingenuous. Let's look at FACTS!

LSU's 3 SEC road losses have been to the top 5 of 14 SEC teams. Top 4 really since LSU is #1 in SEC.
@UF - 7-4 SEC, #4
@TAMU - 7-5 SEC, #5
@USCe - 8-4 SEC, #3

LSU's road wins have come against:
@Vandy - 6-5 SEC, tied #6
@Bama - 5-6 SEC, #9
@AU - 3-8 SEC, tied #11

LSU's remaining road games come against:
@Tenn - 5-7, tied #10
@Ark - 5-7, tied #10
@UK - 9-3, tied #1

For comparison, UK's SEC road losses:
@LSU - 9-3 SEC, #1
@AU - 3-8 SEC, tied #11
@Tenn - 5-7, tied #10

For comparison, UK's SEC road wins:
@Bama - 5-6 SEC, #9
@Ark - 5-7, tied #10
@USCe - 8-4 SEC, #3

For comparison, UK's remaining road games come against:
@TAMU - 7-5 SEC, #5
@Vandy - 6-5 SEC, tied #6
@UF - 7-4 SEC, #4

===
All of that, point being, LSU has arguably played the toughest road schedule of the top teams in the SEC, losing to #3, #4, #5 SEC teams. UK has lost to the #10 and #11 SEC teams with a win over #3 today.

Just food for thought.
