Biggest takeaway from today: LSU is focused

Once LSU opened up a 10+ point lead it never got close again.
Under Will Wade LSU's had major problems holding big leads and letting teams back into games. That's a focus and effort problem.
LSU went up 10 and never let St Bonaventure get close in the 2nd half. LSU is focused and on a mission they started at the end of the regular season.

I bought a pear from the grocery today. I’ve never given a pear a second look before. He is a model of healthy living

God damn right. This ain’t a team looking for a 2-game dance.

There is a big difference with this team mid-year and now.
Wade has addressed that as well. If you paid attention, Wade has made many comments with a paraphrase "it's team now" mentality. But he let his players show, even when he was hoping to gel sooner.
We're locking IN now, just took a while longer.

3 things. Defense, defense, defense.

Agree. And they are playing much better as a team. They don't seem to care who gets the shots/points, and it is helping tremendously.
Most teams are close-knit, but this one seems like they really like each other.

LSU is starting to look like a team that loves the half court game.

LSU played really well all around today. Ever since the Mizzou game going forward into SEC tournament, LSU has come to play. Hoping for a long stay at NCAA tournament with a red hot team

They definitely look more like the team we were expecting.

I think for most of this season, once we opened up that double digit lead our guys started looking to pad their stats.
The last two week that has been none of that. Not to mention the increased effort they have given on defense lately, and on the glass today.

When Days hit that first 3 I knew we’d be good

Abandoning the 1-3-1 zone is the key to this team. Even when we have cold stretches like early today we can stay connected and not fall into the early holes that killed us at the beginning of the year. We can win low 70s games now when we couldn’t before. Great adjustment by Wade and great job by Hyatt to step up and embrace the role he has.

Straight up perseverance today. Cam was cold the entire first half, they still fed him the rock, but others stepped up and played well. I hope they keep this intensity and focus up.

2 big points on Coaching:
1) Anybody notice warm-ups for the 2nd half? All five starters simulating defensive positioning on the court (then reserves substituting) and coaches moving the ball around the perimeter with occasional skip passes so the defense practiced it's rotations/close-outs/passing lanes. Everybody was moving/warming up and NOBODY was shooting. Defensive FOCUS, boys!
2) I was concerned about full court pressure. We did not handle it well---blew the TxTech game because of it---and generally didn't handle it well. St. Bonnie's tried it once and with the floor spaced perfectly and with perfect timing, Cam sprinted long on the oppo side of the court from the ball and came wide open. An easy pass before the defense can even close for the first trap/pressure. Peary well coached.

If we get Good Watford and Good Hyatt, we can go deep.
