How fricking dumb can you be? 4 Quad 1 wins and 4 Quad 2 wins during that stretch. Boy the rant really shows their lack of basketball knowledge more and more every year.
Quad 1: Wake Forest, UK, Tennessee, Aggy (last night)
Quad 2: Penn state, Belmont, La Tech, Aggy
Get the frick out of here. Penn State is 9-11. They aren't good, I don't care what quad they are in. Belmont is beating teams like Tennessee Tech and SIUE. A&M has lost 7 in a row. Tennessee is good. Kentucky is good, even though they didn't have their starting guard when we played them. Wake Forest isn't projected to make the tournament.

You must now know how the quad system and NET works. LSU's NET is 16 but yeah I guess we got that high of a NET bc all the teams we beat suck arse. Also, WF is a projected 8 seed proving once again... you are a dumbass.

Maybe, but when is anyone fully healthy this time of year?

Injuries are part of the game
What’s the record WITH injuries?
The makeup of a “good” team is over coming adversity, still getting Wins with injuries….might not be pretty, but still getting the Dub.
The makeup of a good Basketball team is how good the bench is…that’s a fact.
Why do they look completely lost and fall off so dramatically with injuries?
Record is still good with injuries. This stretch goes to show absolutely vital a good PG is in college basketball. Look at Auburn's 2 games without their starting PG... barely beating UGA and a loss to Arky. UK is completely different when they don't have Wheeler. You take away the starting PG from most P6 teams in the country they are going to struggle tremendously. Especially if their backup PG is also out. Miller was gonna be our starting 2 guard and backup PG. So we essentially have not had a PG since the Tennessee game.

I don't care about the quad system. Do you think Penn State who is 9-11 and in 11th place in the Big 10 is a good team? Do you honestly think Belmont is a good team? Also there's a CBS bracketology that has Wake Forest as one of the first 4 out as well.
I have never said that we are a bad team. I am excited to see how we hold up in the SEC tournament if we can remain healthy.

It won’t matter in the long run don’t care who is on the floor for this team . I hope they have a run in them at the end of the year I really do…But I still do not see that happening. They can’t score and they turn the ball over way to much. Name one big road win they have on the season. I am not trying to be negative just putting this team in perspective for some of y’all! 2nd or 3rd round max for this team depending who they get matched up with.

Florida and Aggy are both Quad 1 road wins....we didn't even have X for the UF game. Winning on the road in college basketball is one of the hardest things to do in sports. Still have chances at Arky (Who we choked against) and at UK (already beat).

Yeah any win on the road is nice in any sport …but I would not consider that a BIG win on the road is what I am saying.

And people seem to forget we have wins vs NET #4 and NET #11. Yes at home but those are still impressive wins and likely will carry heavy weight with the committee.

I'll allow it.
Just know that we will never be FULLY healthy. Miller would be starting every night if he hadn't gotten injured.

Why is the bench so far behind?
Those are questions that need to be addressed.
I don't even know where to start with this dog shite post. For fricks sake.
It's hard to overcome injuries when your main ball handler is out for weeks and you have 3.5 total ball handlers on the team. Pinson and Miller are our 2 best ball handlers. Miller is out for the year. Once Pinson got hurt, we have to rely on our most electric guard option who literally changes games defensively and offensively off the bench in Gaines to play 30+ mins a game and still make him keep the aggressive defensive nature while doing so.
The .5 of that 3.5 is Justice Williams who is a combo guard and should be in HS. He has done a good job but he can't run the offense for 40 mins like Pinson/Gaines can do or how Pinson/Miller/Gaines would have done.
Our bench is great but we have limited ball handlers which has caused lapses defensively and offensively because Gaines (IMO our best defender) has to play a million minutes a game.
I don't care how much your write it off or excuse it, this team had had one true ball handler for the past 3 weeks and that's Gaines

Take away the top 2 ball handlers on any team and they will not be good. No team carries a 3rd ball handler that can run their team anything like the top 2 guys can. This is basketball where 1-2 injuries can be EXTREMELY impactful. It's not like teams are 3-4-5 deep at every position here.
Auburn has been missing Zep Jasper, 1 ball handler, the past 2 games and they nearly lost to the worst team in the conference and did lose to Arkansas.
Injuries can impact the game in a huge way in basketball, not sure why you're trying to make light of that.
The fact we've played this entire season without our best guard and a large chunk of conference play without our 2nd best guard is a testament to what we've still accomplished to this point. Most teams would already fall a good bit apart losing the best guard on their team for a whole season. ANY team would literally fall apart losing their top 2 ball handlers for any length of time. You're talking about guys who literally set the whole pace and feel of the game.

Which goes to my post about the bench being the the makeup of a good team. You just said it was Great and went in to point out the “lapses”. So it’s not great…which is the issue. Pointing that out is “dog shite”, seems you don’t like being honest and making excuses. Same as saying “it’s basketball” or “that’s just baseball”. There’s issues with the bench and injuries made tgat obvious. Not sure why that upsets you, yet here we are.

But it isn't sustainable to keep everyone healthy.. in any sport.

Next man up unless it is a WW coached team. Then next excuse up.

I was not talking about the committee or the tournament, I think we'll make the tournament. I only commented on the quality of teams that we were playing when we started 15-0.

Name them please. We will revisit. You do realize that the jacked up way they are doing quad that probably half of quad 1 teams will not make trny.
Posted on 2/9/22 at 1:34 pm to LSBoosie
Almost every cupcake we played was undervalued and many could see them making noise on the trny.
