re: Hoops: LSU 80, Ole Miss 76 - FINAL (LSU improves to 13-4 overall, 5-0 in the SEC)

Just my opinion, but I think we don't blow people out because we don't have a true point guard and we don't have a serious playmaker. None of our guys are great, but all are very good. Other than Williams and Taylor we don't have a lot of super explosive players. We have a bunch of good athletes. May's, Smart and Watford aren't the fastest players in the world. We don't have a sharp shooter from the outside, but we shoot well enough. Don't forget too that the other teams have players on scholarship ship as well. Everyone loses games.

This team just has a dog mentality. They're all killers. They all play hard as shite and aren't scared of the moment. That's why we are able to win these close games that we win. The ball movement has been better lately. The team is actually starting to play some actual basketball instead of looking like a pick up game.

The early SEC schedule has helped in the 5-0 start. But, if we can continue to improve there's a chance we can be in the thick of the conference race at the end and get a good tourney seed.
