re: Are we a tournament team?

Rothstein thinks so

quote:
If LSU is good enough to beat Arkansas and play like that at Rupp Arena then it's good enough to play in the NCAA Tournament. So impressed with the Tigers.


Seth Davis thinks highly of us too

quote:
Didn't foul. Won anyway. Playing with fire Cal! Cats needed that win in the worst way. And LSU is legit.

Kentucky basketball is Alabama football. If the Wildcats aren't blowing out every SEC opponent the fanbase is furious. The pressure was building on the team and Cal last night and they had to have a win. LSU was playing with house money. Even then, it took a terrible 3 point shooter Toppin (17% on the year) to hit a contested three to keep LSU at bay in a 1 point game with l:30 to go. UK shot a slightly higher % from the FT line than they generally do and got 12 second chance points (which they often do). That was just enough to hold off an LSU team that played one of their best games of the season. Other than giving up a few too many offensive rebounds, I bet McMahon would tell you LSU executed the game plan for the most part. They gave a poor 3 point shooting team some looks that they hit. If anything, LSU may have been TOO unselfish a few times offensively. Particularly Hannibal.

There are no moral victories. But if last night's performance can give the team greater confidence moving forward they are going to be tough to beat on most nights.

I don’t see it. After next week’s UF game, LSU has a brutal 7 game stretch. Hope I’m very wrong though.
