LSU about to win 8 straight and get healthy. Looking forward to everyone jumping off the General Wade bandwagon to come back on.

Yup. Probably should have lost to Florida though.

A&M isn’t a gimme

Miss St has proved to be formidable as well

We'll see.

A&M and TCU have been better than expected. With the way LSU is playing right now I don't think either will "gimmies".

This Pinson injury seems to be one of those under Wade where you hear nothing but good news, but the guy continues to miss game after game. The announcers during the Tennessee game said during the game they watched Pinson in pregame and he was noticeably limited in what he was able to do. So he may not be coming back as soon as we might hope.

The good news is that LSU is probably a game behind at 3-4 the most reasonable goal we had for the first 7 games of SEC play. Hopefully Wade can make the necessary adjustments to get back on track in what we all knew would be the more reasonable portion of the schedule.

Yeh. Those Arkansas Hogs on our home turf were ridiculously good.

I would certainly like to see 8-0 over the next 8 games, but that would require a major offensive transformation.

If we play like we have been, Miss State will crush us.

Brandon Murray will go full Marcus Thornton until we get healthy

Minus Georgia there are no really gimmies in the league. Especially on the road. But there is a clear step down in competition coming up. Nothing against those teams though.

LSU never trailed the entire game. The closest Florida got was 1 pt with 6 min left. Coincidentally, that was the only point the entire game where UF had a greater than 50% chance of winning (51%) according to ESPN’s “win probability”.

With our upcoming schedule it’s likely that LSU will be 23-4 and in the top 10 when we go to Rupp Arena on 2/23.

For sure. We are prisoners of the moment as fans. Yes we havent been playing well these last 3 games but there are a lot of factors involved. Its not just cause all of the sudden our players/coaches stink.

Some of these games will be tricky, idk if I can for sure say we will reel off all of them. We might be favorited in all of them right now but it starts with the next two.

Two solid, not great teams that haven't had much success lately and looking for a big win nothing is gonna come easy

This will be the loss that haunts us for the rest of the year. It really exposed our immaturity and lack of discipline.

Arkansas is a solid team. Not as good as their elite 8 team last year but solid, quick, and they hustle.
It's comments like that which let us know what a blow hard you are.

This one definitely hurts now, but have a funny feeling this will be a Q1 loss (or close to it) by the time March rolls around.

Arkansas has struggled, but is playing really good basketball right now.

Still hurts and we should have put them away, but if this is our worst loss of the season, we'll be fine.

that wasn't a gauntlet, only Auburn was arguably better than you

y'all stop making excuses for the "general"

learn to win these tough games

and don't lose to a schmuck team like Arkansas at home
