Got to admit I was wrong about MM

Other Cook and Wright he don’t have much to work with. To get this team to 2-0( I didn’t think we would win a SEC game) is amazing

This team has more talent than last years team

This team plays hard and fast. They have great ball movement. They are relentless on defense… the only thing that is lacking right now is controlling the boards.
The season rises and falls with Cook. When he’s running the point it’s a completely different team.

Nice interview at end of game. Team will continue to improve.

90% of the posts on tRant are dudes “admitting I was wrong…”.

Team has pretty decent size, athleticism and depth. Baker can get hot and be a pretty decent third scoring option on offense as well.
An extra elite guard/shot creator can go a long long way in college basketball. Cook makes a huge difference along with Wright’s emergence. We can basically run every possession through one of them, with an occasional dump into Baker in the post, and we’ll get a decent look. That’s three options we didn’t have last year

That was the type of coach he is. Maybe he needed to get the right type of players.

This team plays hard on D and just the addition of Cook makes them better than last year.
It's early to be admitting being wrong about anything though either way. The aTm was a great win and they did a good job taking care of business tonight, but we've had some bad losses too. However, this team looks to be more enjoyable to watch than last year and I hope they can keep improving. It's good to get some Ws!

Yeah…not really. They are near the bottom of the SEC in assists per made baskets. Tonight was really bad offense in terms of ball movement. Of which there was very little. The starting 5 had 6 assists…combined.
A win is a win. You take it. But they didn’t play very well as a team tonight. Their own HC called it “ugly”.
Good news..20-23 from the FT line. There’s your ballgame

sounds like you should admit all your basketball takes will be wrong

This team with Cook is way better than I would've thought. Still a mid SEC team at max but that way better than last year.

When your point guard isn't sharing the ball and setting up shots for others, it becomes the way everyone else plays also. Cook obviously has a lot of talent and those floaters were great but to keep winning we will need a lot more passing and less one on one play.

Amazing what year 2 brings after literally starting a program from scratch

Very selfish play tonight and MM said as much in his post game interview. Almost cost us the game and prevented this from being a 15+ point win. Defense made up for some of that. But sometimes they get so caught up in getting steals they overplay and give up easy baskets. But love the effort on both sides. They play hard and TO have also gone down.

You were probably too down on this team. With that said, i think everyone may get too up on them before saturday. Think we got a rude awakening coming our way

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I would like to see that book? LSU was picked to finish second to last in the SEC. A 9-10 win team is far from second to last.

The O/U for SEC wins on FanDuel was 7.5.

You think losing to Nicholls and getting skull fricked by Syracuse is amazing?
Actually, now that I understand it’s you saying that, makes complete sense.
