A short bench doesn't hurt you, its when that short bench isn't filled with quality players. Not saying Hyatt, Graves, Cooper and Bishop won't provide some quality minutes. Just saying, LSU doesn't have a lot of quality depth. Cooper and Graves aren't SEC level talents and Bishop and Hyatt aren't polished yet.

The lose of Manning and having a rusty Marlon could hurt pretty bad over the next couple weeks. Hopefully we can get Marlon up to speed and see him mold back into last years self.

My biggest fear is having a big (Williams, Days, Watford) get into foul trouble. One thing Marlon and Manning do well is play long and athletic, they can rebound and defend multiple positions. Wade likes to pressure with those guys on the court. It will be interesting to see who he brings in off the bench if our bigs get into foul trouble.

Alt- and Geaux-

I think we are all in agreement on the Bench. You both make solid points and I think are bench quality was already thin, now it is anorexic!

BTW, How Bad am I at guessing lines as someone who does this ALOT and way to much! LSU -5 Geez

I gotta take OM +5 I mean that is as juicy of a line as there is. Not sure Vegas understands our bench. So unless Taylor goes back to 2019 Taylor, I dont see how LSU can get this number Saturday in Oxford!
