Wow what a difference a week and half can make. We were 2-1 and just came off a huge win against ARKY at their home. Now were 2-4 and fighting A&M for the bottom of the SEC.

I really hope LSU comes out swinging tonight, but I just don't see how with the PMAC likely to be empty. Need to start stringing some W's.

LSU: 78
aTm: 76

We get a nice lead

We fall behind by 10

We come back and lose by 2 with a chance to win at the buzzer

Will wade and the tigers had a chance to gain the support of the casual basketball fan against Bama and failed. Will begged them to show up and they did.....

The only way to win the fans is to WIN.

Schedule isn't forgiving at all with Auburn and Tennessee waiting on the road. If we want to even think about the Tournament, tonight is a must-win in my opinion.

That said, I'm just enjoying this season for what it is.

I’m thinking we probably lose tonight. Time to pack up the basketball season it’s going to be a long grind to the finish

A&M 72
LSU 62

I think it remains a relatively close game throughout with A&M pulling away late on FT's to make the margin of victory no indicative of how close the game was.

Going into SEC play A&M was clearly the best team in the league. Injuries/illness/suspensions killed them early. LSU took advantage. Now they are fully healthy and have won 2 straight while LSU appears to be down on themselves (the overall effort at Vandy was as bad as it's been in SEC play).

One silver lining -- LSU really didn't play that well at A&M and still won the game (albeit on a couple of very unlikely 3's from Waters).

Same story as Kentucky, Bama, Georgia. LSU is at a big disadvantage in the frontcourt. They just don't have the bodies to compete (Reath is all alone and Epps doesn't like the physical play). LSU has to equalize the size disadvantage by hitting 3's. If not, their chances of winning are slim.

Tigers win by 5! Gonna be an exciting game. Tickets look to be cheap on the marketplace. Everyone needs to come out and support the team.

This can't be stated enough

This is why we lost to Uga and bama.

No presence down low.

considering the OP's header says "ESPNU" I'm guessing its on ESPNU.

I have no idea how this game is going to turn out. Play like we did against Arkansas, we win comfortably. Play like we did against Vandy, we lose by 20+.

Gonna need Sampson, Mays and Epps to grow a pair and play like they want to be out there. If they don’t, we will lose by double digits.

Ags have too much D for us to compete UNLESS we shoot 52%+ from the floor. Ags win 73-64 and our losing streak extends to 4 games.

Aggies are back to full strength and I’m sure they are on a mission right now. A&M’s size will give the Tigers fits. Have to be able to rebound the basketball if they want to stay close.

If Sampson, Epps, and Waters combine for 45 we win.

chance of that happening tonight....0%.

#hopeandpray

Helps coming though, just won't be this year. If we finish with a winning record and get an NIT bid I'll consider that a very successful turnaround compared to the dumpster that was LSU basketball last year.

It’s going to be ugly for the good guys. If the Tigers keep it under 20, put me on the surprised list.
