biggest part of that team that kind of goes unnoticed sometimes. Not by us though.

Charles Manning is a great answer. Also Marlon Taylor and Eric Gaines.

People write off manning because of the foot injuries but he had some real good games

Notable games
11 pts vs Kentucky 3-3 from 3
15 vs miss state
16 vs UMBC

K. Bigsby-Williams. LE already mentioned some positives but I’ll attempt to add my belief. He was indeed a fitting piece on an already excellent team. His presence allowed Nas Reid to take a more liberal approach to scoring and his defensive presence was mighty.

Having two 6’10/6’11 posts was such a difference maker along with Williams and Days.

He didn’t HAVE to score but those nights of 10 pts and 10 rebounds were such bonuses. That team would have been good without him but with him, they became one of the most elite teams LSU has had since 2000.

KBW is my first choice, Days second, Eric Gaines, and Skylar Mays.

Was Eason really “underrated” though?

I'd say he isn't generally talked about in the vein that is indicative of how good he really was. I think that is partially because of the team he played on. It is kind of hard to quantify as under- or overrated at times.
