re: Would you take a split of this week's basketball games?

This isn't football, recruiting rankings are skewed because of the small number of players signed by a team. Would you rather have a recruiting class of five 4-stars(5 total players) or a class of two 5-stars and one 4-star (3 total players)? Any coach in America would want the depth of five 4-star recruiting class. The math on that is pretty simple if you add up the players by total stars. A&M had 20 total stars and LSU 13 total stars. That's really not close when looking at simple math. Also anyone who follows LSU basketball recruiting knows that we have an open scholarship and fell short on filling that scholarship with the last class. We just missed out a couple of different times on different players most notably Malik Newman.

But back to the original point, you definitely did say that you think we should be dominating these teams and not just worrying about whether or not we are winning. We do not live in a bubble were there is only Ben Simmons and no one else. We are not the only team that has players.

Bump... we got the one we really needed.

A split was very important. It keeps LSU in it. Now, they have to win on Tuesday and find a way to win against OU next Saturday. They need to steal one in Columbia and at least get a split in Knoxville or Fayettville and win out at home. That couple with a win in the SEC Tournament will likely get them in.
