re: LSU MBB doesn't have another game to play until November...

This is exactly why at this stage it shouldn’t strictly be a results based eval. What happens is some fans will hold onto the Kentucky type win as the barometer while others will use the Nicholls loss as theirs. What we should be looking at are the fundamental details, do we defend, take care of the ball, rebound, execute in crucial spots, make FTs and so on. These things don’t require talent to do and stand out regardless of the record and these are the things we’ve been poor at from the beginning til now. A good example is Kentucky who has more talent than anyone in the country but essentially they play like a HS allstar team instead of a high quality college contender which is why they haven’t done anything in recent memory.
