This team has done as well as expected despite it's sometimes frustrating defense and lack of effort.
I wouldn't go that far Tom. I think just saying we were picked by the media to finish third or fourth in the SEC and translating that to we have done as well as expected is rationalizing underachieving play....IMHO.
We did not play as well as I expected, I guess I should just say that and not assume expectations of others, but I would guess more others than not, LSU fans or otherwise, probably really expected a bit better.
And to whit that's a big if....12-6 assumes a win that we probably won't get....though I'd love it and hope for it.

This team played as it was expected to in SEC play going into the season they were picked 11-7 12-6 in SEC play by most people. Going into SEC play no one thought they would get there judging by how they had played. The problem is this team did not live up to expectations in non conference. If they win 2 more games in non conference they would be on the right side of the bubble. Had the shot in the air to win in two of those losses and led OU for most of the game. This season is all about missed opportunities.

Yes, I agree that the overall season has been somewhat disappointing and I wish we had won three or four more of those out of conference games. But can you really tell me that if we beat Kentucky again it won't exceed your expectations in conference? I mean come on - beat Kentucky twice, regular season co-champs and number one seed in the conference tourney? You're a long time fan. How many times has LSU basketball exceeded that? Twice maybe?
