Im expecting 7-3 heading into the kentucky game.


That would be great..The UK scares me a lot... They have to play way better than they did against FLA to beat UK...The PMAC MUST RESPOND that day.........

The UK game doesn't scare me at all. If we lose, whatever.. If we win, rejoice. Nothing negative can really come from it.

Oh the #1 team scares you? No one expects to win, go out there and play with nothing to lose.

That's not my point.... IF you want to be a consistant top 25 team you need to play well AT HOME against the best...

Kansas lost by 32 on neutral court
UCLA lost by 39 on a neutral court
Louisville lost by 8 on home court

While I understand what you are saying and I definitely don't want LSU to lose by 20+ this UK team doesn't break your season. It would make ours though and LSU will play hard and I know the fans will be there.

It could be a real learning experience for this team against that UK Press... Uk's D is tops in the country... If we get blown out or not... Playing them close and losing like 75-71 will be a real confidence builder for the rest of the year... Lets just win the Next two and see how it goes....

Serious question:

Do you ever get tired of constantly having to capitalize all those words?

He wasn't in the game during crunch times

He was PG for ~4 minutes starting at the 6 minutes left in the 2nd half. He was much better, dished out 2 assists and had one rebound. He was taken out with two minutes left in favor of TQ.

Jones is going to be very selective on when he plays him, but there's a couple of slump busters ahead.

I still think we need him to become the best version of ourselves. Have to get his confidence back and need to get him cherishing the basketball more.

He makes things happen, some good, some bad.

I did the same thing... Looked at it and noticed some teams that shouldn't be on there and looked up on ESPN...

Had a lot of teams with both games last week. Seems that Arkansas and Georgia are getting more love than LSU. Texas A&M got two votes. At least the SEC is getting more teams noticed.

I certainly expected us to pick up more than 10 votes. OU staying in the ranking at 12-7 is comical
