Somebody with more basketball knowledge than me correct me if I'm wrong, but Akron is not a bad team, right? Kenpom has them in the top 100. Hopefully we get Kansas St. and can see how this team matches up against a solid opponent.

Akron is by far the best team we have played this season, they aren't bad, probably will be a contender for their conference this year.


Believe they played in the tourney last year.

I watched some of their game yesterday. They looked pretty cohesive. We did a good job of getting them out of their comfort zone today.

Meh they’re 3-1 with a 20 point loss to miss state but they did crush a decent 3-0 western kentucky team yesterday. It’s a good win

Starting to look like LSU has great coaches in all major sports now, football, baseball and men’s and women’s basketball. Going to be a fun ride over the next few years.

Got LSU moneyline live at -115. Hoping for an improved second half.

LSU can run this weak OOC schedule before SEC play. Would make for a fun start to SEC play at 12-0

K State might have something to say in this tourney

KenPom had us winning by 5 and we won by 15. So we definitely performed well. If Akron can end up being a top 100 team in the NET, it'll be a quad 2 win.

Our conference schedule is tougher than last year. Somehow. We have all the top picked teams to start the year

I think Nevada is better than K State.

Although it has been against relatively weak competition, K-State's defense has been very good. Their HC is Scott Drew's long time assistant at Baylor. Like LSU, tonight's game will be the toughest opponent they have faced to date.

Also like LSU they have almost a completely new roster from last season with multiple guys with SEC experience. Notably Desi Sills (Arkansas), Cam Carter (Mississippi St....by way of Donaldsonville) and Keyonte Johnson (Florida) who was a preseason SEC POY pick before he suddenly collapsed during a game in 2020. They also have Jerrell Colbert from last year's LSU team (though he isn't playing). Hopefully he remembered to bring his jersey to Grand Cayman

well considering the rest of our non-conference slate we should, to be honest. after either K-State or Nevada (preferably K-State as they are decent) our non-con consists of:
Wofford, UT Arlington, NC Central, Winthrop, East Tennessee St at Home
Wake Forest in Atlanta
Texas Tech in the B12/SEC challenge at home
if we win all of those Akron would prolly be our 3rd or 4th best win
