6 reasons why the LSU basketball team will make the NCAA tourney

1. We have hands down the best point guard in the country. He is a whole different player from last year and has the ability to get to the rim with NBA range shooting the three. He also has a pullup jumper off the dribble that he has added to his game that he is actually making. I watch aaron craft play multiple times and he may be a better on ball defender then hickey but he is not a better overall defender.
2. We have won a game against a good team when the shots just weren't falling, missed freethrows until the end of the game and turned the ball over. Only a good team can pull that feat off.
3. Our perimeter defense is unbelievable and the press will be a weapon for the rest of the season. I can't say enough about the combination of hickey and charles on the perimeter. If the other teams best player in on the wing or plays the point then he in for a bad game.
4. We dominate the teams we are suppose to beat. This the one that really gets under my skin!! LSU 5-0 because we haven't played anybody!! If we wouldn't have lost those 4 games against scrubbs last year we would have been in the tournament. I just don't understand how we can take wins for granted when just 2 years ago we couldn't beat anybody. Be thankful we have the ability to beat mississippi valley state.
5. The depth on this team is unbelieveable. We have 7 player's capable of leading the team in scoring any night. Coleman is one of the most versatile player i have seen at LSU. Johnny O was getting triple teamed lastnight and still didn't want to kick the ball back out. Even though he should have i loved the i can't be stopped approach.
6. The SEC is horrible this year and the only team LSU can't beat is prolly florida. Kentucky is talented but young and will lose there share of games in the SEC this year. Alabama is a good solid team we will have some epic battles with. The rest leave something to be desired and already been losing to the same type of teams we complain about beating.
I love the team CJJ has put together and the offense they run. The season just starting and the only place I see LSU going for here is up. I know I will get blasted for starting this tread but i will look like a god when we win over 20 games and finish in the top 5 in the SEC. We will rank in the top 25 at some point of the year too. YEAH I SAID IT

man you really are in love with this team. best pg in the country? you probably need to pump the brakes.

The enthusiasm is great. The realism is nonexistant.

Put the pipe down. Hickey isn't the best point in the country, and we have yet to see how we'll match up against big teams.
Tourney isn't out of the question, but this is a year to learn the system and grow. This squad is going to explode next year though, and probably be a top 10 national team.

He's improved but this just is not realistic.

Im pumped too, but Seton Hall is not that good of a squad.

Yep.

No doubt, which is why we will have a hard time getting in the tournament.
You may be right about getting in the tourney, but I just dont see it. They are much improved but 2012 is not the year. Next year we will be very very good. Like your enthusiasm though

I can't think of 6 reasons.

BTW, can I have some of what you're on? I can meet you behind a gas station somewhere, it'll be cool.

OP just went full retard and i only read the title and first sentence

1. I hate being a hater but Hickey isnt the best in the country. You havent seen the little white kid from Indiana, Peyton Siva from Louisville, the kid from Notre Dame who put a hurting on Kentucky, or much less a PG from down the street at UNO averaging big numbers with assist. However, I do think Hickey is the key to how far this team goes and has alot of potential.
2. Seton Hall was good but Florida, Alabama, Missouri, and Kentucky would have beat Seton Hall by 20.
3. I do like the press.
4. What?
5. Wrong. We have a bunch of athletes. You have a tuba player for the depth in the front court. This will prove to give us some losses when you face a point guard that attacks your best big man and puts him in foul trouble. And only 1 pg. Carmouche is the best thing outside of Hickey in controlling the tempo.
6. OK
Its too early young skywalker. This team has a small dorito on its shoulder and is playing decent. However, with their lack of "experienced talent," they will have to play perfect basketball to finish above .500 in SEC play and advance to the NCAA tourny.

fjohns, I like where your head is at.
1. Hickey does many things good. I am not sure he is the top in the country, but his ability to get steals, assists, lead this team, and occasionally score when necessary are exactly what this team needs.
2. This point is why I did move my season prediction from 17-12 to 18-11, but I will say I think overall, 16 turnovers for a team that runs the way we did is actually very good. Keeping the turnovers in the mid-teens will be successful IMO.
3. I think this point really shows how good we will be next season. We don't have the depth this year to press as much as we want. We have over a week off so it was okay for this team to get crazy, but it couldn't last all season.
4. fair.
5. I don't think depth is the right word here... Its more like balance. At one point last night our lineup in the game had 4 players with 6 points and 1 with 5. That is balance my friend.
6. I agree that the SEC is down, which to me means that the SEC doesn't get bubble teams in. This will probably hurt us more than help. You gotta win big games to get in, and we don't get many chances at those cause the league will be down.
Overall, excited about the progress and hoping that we can make a arun!

7. It is early enough in the season to be optimistic. Enjoy it!

Have you seen Trey Burke from Michigan? Uhh, obviously not. Hickey is a nice PG, but Trey Burke is ridiculously filthy good.

Remembering the days of old with Dale Brown, I would Love to see a resurgence of this program. It's a long time coming. And we have a coach who has ties to the program and WANTS TO BE HERE! With the upcoming recruiting class and hopefully more to follow, I'm very excited about the prospects.
Note: I don't think we make the NCAA this year but the NIT is definitely a possibility. I'm thinking 2 years to get this going.

Is horrible basketball that will cost us some games.

I'm excited about this team and I hope that everything you've posted comes to fruition. However, let's not get too excited about beating a middle/lower tier Big East team. Is this team much more exciting and should they finish better than last season? Absolutely. Let's get back together to discuss after the upcoming three game road trip. It has been a while since I've been this excited about LSU hoops!

Did not read the OP or thread. Couldn't get passed the first sentence. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you are sunshine pumping with the best of them. Have you been to all 5 home games in person?
Posted on 11/30/12 at 11:05 am to fjohns1
As some have pointed out, this team has yet to play a road game. Road games are another degree of difficulty even if you are playing an inferior team. Never doubt that us playing at home was a big factor in last night's game.
