I watched a little of that game against OSU.

They are a better team than we are.

No they are not. They may win but we are about even. They are better offensively but good defense beats good offense. We have to limit Amoore and the all Acc big inside and we win.

They had shooters too...one girl could bomb. I wasn't that impressed with their big girl. Other than that they were better, IMO.

Even if both teams are everything equal, the media will pick against Mulkey. They don’t want her to succeed.

You're basing that off of the assumption that OSU is better than we are this year because they beat us in the tournament last year. Without taking that into account, there's really no way to tell which team is better between VT and LSU.

Can this narrative please fricken stop! I mean seriously...this is so silly. Who in the media is rooting against this squad? Point to just one. Hell, not even the former coach who does the Final Four broadcast for ESPN has said a bad word about Mulkey or this squad.

Currently, Vegas has LSU as a 2 point favorite. Not sure which publications you're reading, but typically those are just opinions from people that don't really know shite and they are looking for clicks. Vegas is about making money, that's it. I have more faith in the Vegas odds makers than some hack analyst.

Its even. 2 points means the house needed more money coming in on LSU to even things out.

This is idiotic! No one is gonna say, the teams are even but they are giving VT 2 points so I am gonna take LSU!

Agreed. Most national media that cover the game on a regular basis have nothing but respect for her.

Play our game defensively and get more of a rhythm offensively and I like our chances.

In basketball, more than any sport probably, people only look at offense. The reality is defense wins in March. On the men's side there hasn't been a champion in the last 20 years that wasn't in the top 25 in the nation in defensive efficiency.

Best I can tell, LSU is No.2 nationally in defensive efficiency. Virginia Tech is No.30.

Recency bias eye-test says take Virginia Tech. A season's worth of data say take LSU...that's why they are the favorite.
