re: Post LSU hoops’ quality wins here

They're actually both Q1 at the moment though likely to end up Q2 by the end of the season.

Arkansas is currently #33, which drops the LSU win to a Q2 win. That means LSU is now 1-5 in Q1 games with the "1" barely being a Q1 win (Ole Miss)

Now, I fully agree LSU still has opportunities to get good wins: Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, @ MSU, @ Ark. But they MUST start capitalizing as they have missed out on all but one opportunity to get a Q1 win to date.

As far as Q2 wins, I don't think they mean all that much. The committee has said time and time again that the two biggest metrics that go into NCAAT selections are: (1) can you beat other tournament teams and (2) can you win away from home. LSU is severely lacking in those metrics at the moment. They only have one win over a likely NCAAT team, Arkansas. And even that isn't all that "likely". They also have a losing record on the road.

Is there still time to build a resume? Yep. But it has to start NOW. IMO, they have to, at minimum, go 2-2 in the next 4. Anything less, and there just won't be much left to help them in the final 2 weeks of the season.

LSU's overall record is ok as well as their SEC records. But they simply aren't beating good teams now. That HAS to change.
