re: State of LSU basketball....

I knew they would be bad this year (not this bad, but bad nonetheless). The thing that has me concerned is two-fold: (1) In most games, even games against marginal teams, this LSU team is not even close to competing (the game was "close" last night, but Bama will not make it out of the first weekend of the tourney...can't really use them as a litmus test nationally), and (2) I see absolutely no reason why they will be any better next year. Sure they are young...and unathletic and reliant on a 5'8" soph two guard (next year) for scoring and maybe a 6'9" true freshman big man from MS which has not produced a college ready freshman in a decade in basketball.
