South, at this point what's you're thoughts on what LSU needs to do during SEC play? Tennessee got in with 11-7 last year and one win in the SEC tournament. Does LSU need to replicate similar numbers? Also, does it favor LSU that we only play Kentucky once and at home for that matter?

UT last season had a much better OOC resume than LSU does this season. They played Xavier twice (beat them once), along with Wichita St., NC State and Virginia. They also had a win over Virginia who went on to be a #1 seed in the NCAAT. They had the luxury of losing 7 SEC games and still having a strong (enough) overall case to get into the tournament. LSU won't have that same luxury

It's been great seeing Quarterman produce but I think the guy who is an x-factor is Paterson. He takes great care of the ball and can knock down the open three. Makes me feel a little more comfortable about the depth at PG.

I just don't see a ton of good resume's out there. Tennessee was 8-4 against Div1 OOC last year and I think their low win total hurt them. They only had 19 wins (18 against Div 1) while LSU would have 22 wins against Division 1 teams if they go 11-7 in SEC play. I know the competition isn't as great, but I think that WVU game will help us a lot and hoping Texas Tech and Sam Houston St can continue to win like they are...
