I'm a huge fan of that lineup, SoS. It's virtually unstoppable on offense. Ben and TQ are elite drivers, we know what KH can do, and AB and JP have the potential to fill up the hoop.

I got criticized hard the other day bringing this up...but Victor has to understand his role for LSU to be successful. He brings something to our team that we desperately needed. But we don't need him to shoot 15 times a game...like he's been doing lately. I'll say it again, I love the guy...love him. But the only player who should be forcing shots is Ben. If Ben had Victor's aggressiveness he would drop 35 a game.

I think Victor is a major reason why LSU has turned around it's rebounding woes. If I would have told you that thru 7 games, LSU would have allowed the LEAST amount of offensive rebounds per attempt in the SEC would you have believed me?

Well are are. Pretty amazing, but if Victor is out due to foul trouble, I'd rather go 4 guards and play that 2/3 zone than go with extended minutes with Elbert/Darcy in man to man.

There is no doubt Victor is the man and we needed him. I'm just speaking from an offensive standpoint. I wish he could play inside out more

Is Victor really "forcing" shots? He's shooting ~46% (not great, but not horrible either). He and Simmons have a pretty good hi-low game which allows him to get good looks at the rim. I guess the only shots you could argue are "questionable" are his 14-18 jumpers. However, those shots are some of the few open looks LSU's offense generates in and of itself. The majority of the time LSU's shots are completely predicated on guys making something happen one-on-one or taking semi-contested looks.

Defenses are happy to just pack things in and let everyone (but Hornsby) shoot from deep. Victor can pull guys away from the basket if he can knock down a few jumpers. He's just inconsistent and has to have some discretion on nights where he is off. Still, I think you have to have he and Simmons take some of those open looks to at least pose a threat to the opposing defense.

Daneon Mason's ability to get to the bucket at will gives this team a great dimension. With terry martin draining threes and garrett green banging down low, this team is going places

Victor had 4 straight possessions early in the 2nd half. 3 of which he shot, one was a wide open jumper, the other 2 were double team and extremely tough shots that he missed. The 4th he almost threw it up but was so off balanced he just rolled it back out to Tim.

Never ever should this team have 4 straight possessions go through Victor's hands. I'm not trying to be negative because outside of Ben he's our most vital player maybe. But Hornsby gets 7-8 shots a game and Victor is around 11-12? That should change is all I'm saying. Victor is the nasty, gritty player that gets the tough boards and points. I want it to stay that way

Once Aaron Dotson's knee heals he will be unstoppable

4am is rough getting up the next morning after an 8pm start. I don't get home until almost 11 with the 8pm start.

It's weird. I have to be at work at 5:30am so I leave my house by 5am but I kinda like the late games because it gives me time to prep and get excited after work. Maybe grab a beer or dinner near campus and get excited. But it's nice to get home after a 6pm game and be able to enjoy a victory before going to bed.

6PM is too early and 8PM is too late.

RIP 7PM SEC weeknight tip-offs. You were loved by many. Gone but not forgotten.

7 really was perfect, but as a fan of college basketball 6/8 games are awesome. 7 games don't allow TV to post two back to back prime time games.
