About as bad as Auburn losing to Bama and Mizzou or Kentucky losing to Evansville.

They’re both at least two games better than us in W/L.

ETSU is a REALLY good team!!

No one on here can argue losing to Vandy. Sorry, that is JUST a really bad loss.

But Bama is NOT a BAD loss...it is just NOT. And anyone on here that thinks it is, well, they are just NOT informed!

Is any loss acceptable, no! It happens when you are flawed. See EVERYONE in CBB, and I would feel comfy in SDSU would lose 2-5 games in the SEC.

Just chill! Beat UK, or BEAT Arkansas on the road and finish the season off. grab a 3-8 seed and get ready fro March 19 or March 20!!!

Come to Vegas and enjoy the scene. LSU being in the tournament is simply phenomenal and we ARE coming off a SWEET 16 season!!

it’s extremely difficult to win on the road in the SEC. the conference has lots of talent these days

So talented that there are only three SEC teams in the Top 25 and presumed locks for the tourney?

LSU has not beaten Alabama in Coleman back to back seasons in nearly thirty years.


So that explains it.

Wade has done a lot in three years and deserves much credit but let’s not get carried away.

Are you aware just how bad losing to teams like East Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Alabama makes us look?


Vandy is the only awful team of the three. Bama's only double-digit SEC loss was to LSU. East Tennessee State is in the first four out of the tourney right now according to Lunardi.

And even pathetic Vandy was leading Kentucky late in both of the games they played against them. Still, that was a bad loss. Nothing unusual at all for college basketball though in LSU's losses.

OH!! And Seton Hall with the best player in the country is about to drop its 2nd straight game!!

Creighton at Home and at Providence!!

Welcome to CBB 2020!! Buckle up for march boys!! It is NOT gonna be a 13 over a 4 etc, it is going to be these Mid-level Power 5 types getting hot behind the arc that create havoc!

Some Cat for Kansas today hit 6 of 9 while he shooting 27% from 3 and Kansas wins by 15+ and the world thinks KU is great. The dude shoots his normal 2 of 8 and this is a 5 point game.

Cmon, just watch more games before you blast LSU!

It means that they don’t have as many losers as us, one. It means they don’t have as many bad losses that will frick their RPI. We absolutely cannot afford to lose hardly anymore games.

U mean the team that fires a coach every 3 years, rarely has high nba draft picks and is .500 in a bad conference?

I’m not sure what’s lower, sec basketball standards or Biden’s polling numbers

That’s a lot of words to say Basketball really doesn’t matter.

The boys off Fall will be back soon enough to inspire us once again.

Basketball gets us to March (maybe), then Baseball until June (maybe), then a couple months later King Football brings us all back together and pays the bills.

Bama is 47th in Kenpom LSU is 34th. It’s not a big deal we weren’t favored. We’re a 7 loss team we’re exactly what our record indicates, especially in a season like this one.

At some point they are going to have to surge past schools like this.

No doubt, but I would not expect it in the year after Alleva hosed up our recruiting class. My advice is to relax, enjoy the season, and wait until next season for LSU to really compete for anything.
