Martin needs to work on his passing from the high post and as the press outlet. Other than that you can tell he is starting to put it together.

I can agree with you here. Martin at the free throw line could be special if he can pass from that spot. Especially if he can continue to drive to the hoop and finish around the rim.

I really like what he has done from the free throw line so he needs to continue getting there. Keep driving to the rim.

Cant say enough about mickey. That 3 point play in OT was greatness. His instincts around the rim are incredible. Coach did a good job drawing up some plays and releasing the press at the right moments.

I wasn't a huge fan of the press we ran against Butler. It was purposely soft. It worked the first two times, but after that, it was easy to beat.

However, still thought Coach Jones did a great job this week.

Butler couldn't handle it at times. Game ball goes to morgan. His defense was huge.

CBS just updated their RPI rankings.

LSU all the way up to 23rd after their victory Sunday.

I believe so. I don't think we are really looking top 25 rankings right now (maybe a vote or two), but the RPI is probably anywhere from mid 20's to mid 40's depending on what site you use.

That's better than I expected.

Yeah the top 25 means little, but it just seems like the positive momentum is snowballing.

The thing that impressed me the most was the focus on getting the ball down low to Mickey and JOB. Many college teams find it difficult to commit to strategies like that.

I think LSU did well getting it down to Mickey. They didn't double team him and he was able to score or pass very well.

Can we talk about the Tower of Terror ride and the video they showed during the game? That thing was hilarious
