Looking forward to this game. LSU has played better with Cook, but that was against some of the worst teams in Div I. However, the time on the court as a complete unit can only be beneficial.

This week will be telling for the team. Can they compete on the road vs. a solid A&M team? Can they win at home vs. a terrible Vandy team? Go 0-2 this week, and it's lights out.

This A&M game would be a tough game even in a good year for LSU. Opening the SEC on the road against a tough team is bad enough, but A&Ms strength is on the boards which is LSU's weakness.

Just checked: they start 4 seniors and 1 junior, then bring 2 Sophomores and two seniors off the bench. Probably the oldest team we will play all year. Forwards are 6'11", 250 and 6'8" 250. Guards are 2 at 6'6" and the pg at 6'0".

Baker might try to get off to a good start. The don't seem to have anyone over 6"8" behind their starting big man.

You’re right. Should be a 1-1 week. Coleman and Garcia eat up a lot of rebounds. So if we are competitive. It’s because we are shooting well.
Vandy should be a win at home. It’s our most likely win in conference.

That "terrible" team took Bama, a great team, to the wire this afternoon, losing by a mere bucket. Vandy has a lot of talent, and Stackhouse can coach! I don't like LSU's chances Tuesday night
