If we can win without Cook and Ward I would be very impressed. 31 ppg on the bench is hard to overcome no matter who you are playing. Hopefully one is good go go. Amazingly LSU is -5.5. Not touching that unless I know we have one or both playing. Line may change by tipoff.

We really struggled in the second half without Ward on the floor. I mean worked extremely hard just to get a shot off.
One good shooter can change an entire game, especially against an elite defense

Yea I think Georgia is a 50/50 sort of game. It's the kinda game that really boils down to coaching, particularly if we're shorthanded as it appears
It's a game between two average to below average teams who don't really excel on either end of the floor. Georgia is 85th in offensive efficiency/97th in defensive efficiency. LSU is 94th/90th in those categories. The home court SHOULD give LSU the advantage. But if they are without two key scorers the offensive options will be limited. When these two last played Cook at 21 points. Ward didn't play. Obviously (with a good game from Jordan Wright) LSU was able to compete. But leaving Wright to be the only reliable scorer will make things much tougher. Particularly considering Wright is not playing as well now as he was earlier in the season. If both Ward and Cook are out, someone (Baker, Reed, Williams) is going to have to have a good game.

IF LSU wants to make the NIT this is a big one. last week LSU was in as the AQ for the NIT but since both TAMU and Ole miss have fallen out of the NCAA tournament atm taking LSU's AQ spot.
A road win and a clean sweep over LSU will probably put UGA in over us for the NIT. So something is very much on the line for LSU in this one. I except them to play with some heat in this one.
Also, winning this game can help keep LSU out of the Wednesday night SEC tourney. God it would suck to play b2b wednesday nights games.

Also, Arkansas seems to be improving a bit and has won 3 out of 5. That will be very tough road win to pull off. It would be ironic for Lsu to beat UK & SC but turnaround and give those back by losing to UGA & Arky.

Yep Arky is playing much better, I was hoping they would be dead by this time. In terms of NET though its probably too late for them to pass us, but its turning into a big race to not finish in the bottom 4. Pretty fun to watch, not fun to participate in!

We've quite honestly played some of our better games and stretches of the year without Cook so I'm not sure that holds the same weight it once did.
Now Ward....IMHO they've just started giving him the time he's earned. Not having him will be more of hindrance for sure.

Currently LSU is 90. Georgia is 97,Ole miss 74, A&M 58, and Arkansas 122. Need ole miss or a&m to make the tournament

The top 2 NET thing is to GUARANTEE a NIT bid and host.
There still are at large invites.
We need a NIT berth to have any sort of momentum with the program
Posted on 2/27/24 at 12:23 pm to Adam Banks
Right. I think an at large NIT bid is doubtful unless we win 4-1 and A&M and Ole miss both miss the tourny

Probably so. Would be disappointing.
Johnny Jones made the second round of the NIT in his second year without free transfers and having to start a tuba player at center in his first year.

Yes I think one of TAMU or Ole miss should make the tourney but if they don't finishing as that 3rd SEC team will be important to get the at large bid. I don't think they'll take 4, they might but I'm not too sure about it.

Talent was not the problem for Arky. Going by pure talent they are the 5th or 6th best team in the SEC IMHO.
They had some SERIOUS locker room issues the very much undermined and compromised the product on the floor.
At this point it seems they have to at least some extent found some level of balance in the program where they have gotten past some of the issues the derailed them and are playing up to their true talent level now.
And the fact that it's better than ours and we're going there does not bode well for us.
As I've indicated before I'd place our relative talent level in the SEC overall in the 8-10 range.

Our guys have to go out there and play like it’s the last game they’re ever gonna play. We need to win this one.

Arkansas is easily the most underachieving team this year in the SEC. But they can be good when they put it together and even before the last 3 games for LSU (and Arkansas) I always though the road game at Arkansas was going to be very tough for LSU.
3-1 is a reasonable and very achievable goal in the final 4 games for this team. In fact, anything less than 3-1 will be very disappointing
Even though LSU has a couple of last second wins over Kentucky and South Carolina, LSU has never been top 5-6 of the league caliber good overall. They were really more in that group of teams between Mississippi St. - Arkansas. From an overall record standpoint only Vanderbilt and Missouri have a worse record than LSU (Arkansas has the same 14-13 record). Still, it would be nice to see LSU finished close to the top of the "2nd tier" group.
Getting 3 of 4 down the stretch will put LSU at 17-14 (9-9) for the season. That's not "good". But it is definite improvement from last year and give the program more positive momentum going into the offseason than they at the end of last season.
