Seems like the Oklahoma loss made this team better

They also realized they can have a lead an lose it.

They now need to learn that they need to play the entire game.

Their slow start today will result in a loss to stronger teams

This team is improving. We have a bright future

I think we've continued to get better once we've had the entire team intact and playing together.

The @Vandy win started it.

The @UF loss was ALL ON THE REFS.

The @TAMU loss, folks forget we lead that game and couldn't buy a shot from 12 minutes or so left and ended up getting punked.

The v. OU loss, Buddy Hield decided to highlight reel us, otherwise we win.

IMO we've been on track for a while now and we continue to grow. Simmons and Victor are brand new additions to the team. Same with Blakeney. Not getting Hornsby back until mid December hurt the team gelling as well. Along with TQ pouting and having to be demoted for 4 games.

Any reasonable observer can see once the pieces have been in place and getting to play together and figuring out their roles, LSU has been very solid squad. Top 25 worthy IMO. It's the taste left from 7-5 in Nov/Dec OOC that's remained.

Many teams struggle to close out games, many teams just come out flat, LSU isn't the exception here.

For me, I'm liking what I see. 8-2 SEC, 8-3 overall since calendar flipped.

Just need to continue to build on it.

They came so close to beating them I think it made them believe in them selves.
