Which means we will beat Kentucky at home, right?

If we scratch and claw like we did for the first 35 minutes vs Auburn I think we win Tuesday night.

We historically suck at Coleman for some reason we will get it back on track Tuesday

Kentucky should present numerous matchup problems down low for us because they block a lot of shots and we have been getting tons of shots blocked down low vs. less talented teams the last few games. But it's at home and teams always get up for UK, so it should be a good game. LSU is going to have to hit their mid-range jumpers though much better than what happened today.

Dude, we've been scrathing and clawing all along this season. We did it tonight almost erasing an 18 pt deficet at Bama in the second half.

The scratch claw is certainly there with this team.

Some of those contested one handers early in the game seemed a little forced to me. Maybe it just seemed that way because we were missing them. Make a few of those and it's a different game down the stretch.

Not vs Vandy, Mizzou or for most of the game today.

Had we done that instead of standing around watching Bama get rebounds and score we would have won the game.

For most of the season it has been, but effort has been an issue lately. Maybe we're wearing down some because of the short bench. We certainly played balls out at Auburn. Perhaps we're just a little fatigued.

When Days gets in foul trouble early, we have guys playing 40 minutes a game. Manning needs to round back into form soon or we will limp to the finish line with dead legs.

perhaps, but these are young legs only playing 2 games a week. It’s not an NBA season with 82 games, with a game every other day and much more travel.

More depth would be great, but young guys can handle it.
