More importantly they made only 2 more 3s than their average but yea those 6 points were the difference in the game lol.
And we made 3 less than our average. Bringing it to a 9 point game.
LSU also averages 19.5 FT's made per game, we made 12.
If the trend continues with LSU and this roster, then I'll be concerned. But for now it seems like this was an outlier of a game where TTU came out hot and LSU had to play catchup.

1. Be willing to go play a stand alone road game at a big time opponent. Oklahoma went to Gonzaga. Ole Miss went to St. John's.
Correct. I think if we finish in the top half of the SEC these opportunities will open up. The flip side is those Top-20 schools want the marquee name, but also the guarantee that they'll be decent.

2. But more detail into scheduling the rent-a-win opponents. Try to find some solid mid-majors and, for Godssake, limit the SWAC/MEAC opponents to 1 per year.
Yep. It's a balance. Get Colorado St., Santa Clara, Utah Valley, George Washington, Belmont, etc. to the PMAC. Will have to pay them more than Prairie View but you'll also get better preparation for SEC play.
Honestly, this year's schedule hasn't been horrendous if they chose to play SMU at home and replaced Alcorn/PVAM with a school like Belmont. Hell, if a school like Belmont is unwilling to come here for 1 game...do a 2 for 1 with them. Or even better, work with a promoter for the Nashville game to be at Bridgestone in a doubleheader with Tennessee in game 2 vs. Purdue.

It took a good bit of research but this was when Delta was downsizing/eliminating CVG & MEM as hubs...so I was able to find that they were running a "same plane" MEM-CVG-DTW route in each direction to connect these hubs.
The overnight was at IAH with a same plane/crew late night to early morning back to DTW.
The CLE-DTW-CLE trips were icing on the cake as low cost 20 minute flights on the same plane.

However, I'm sure that wrapping up our non-conference with SLU (KenPom 278), Prairieview (KenPom 309) and Southern Miss (KenPom 191) will be great confidence boosters before a brutal SEC schedule starting January 3.
Disclaimer - This is not a defense of LSU's recent scheduling as I'm well aware of the work that Wade's assistants put into deciphering the NET formula to schedule good opponents.
LSU is in a tough situation when it comes to MBB scheduling. They aren't good enough on paper for the elite Power 4 types to schedule in non-conference play. Duke losing to LSU in a home & home is a lot worse than Michigan St. They also don't have the fanbase to draw massive ticket sales to the marquee events in MSG, Maui, etc. Yes...I'm aware they've been before but more often are playing in Destin, Charleston, Greenbrier, etc. over thanksgiving.
I'd like for them to leverage this year with a better roster, and likely better record, to get into some better Thanksgiving/December neutral site events and work on the NET/KenPom manipulation.

Before airlines went to money spent vs. miles/segments I needed to do a mileage run to keep Diamond on Delta. Did the following over about 24 hours:
MSY-MEM-CVG-DTW-CLE-DTW-IAH-DTW-CLE-DTW-CVG-MEM-MSY.
MSY-MEM-CVG-DTW-CLE-DTW-IAH-DTW-CLE-DTW-CVG-MEM-MSY.

Wasn’t always this way. Barely made playoffs and grabbed Wilson and Evans off waiver wire.
Rest of my team has been injured and Williams has put up some bad numbers when I needed him haha

And only once you're in do they start to come up with even more reasons to not reimburse you.
My favorite is when the insurers have no problem approving claims for their insured when the insured hasn't met their deductible and is responsible for the bill. As soon as their deductible is met though...the claim denial rate shoots through the roof.

Not every insurance plan reimburses at the same rate or allows more providers in their network.

I packed my carry-on when they told everyone to prep for landing 12,000 feet ago. You can wait with all the people that are shocked when they get to the gate and have to start collecting their crap.
I'm talking about people that rush the front of the plane immediately. Sometimes knocking others out of the way. All while we've arrived at our gate 12 minutes early.

I have noted a group of people who detest folks who stand up when the plane gets to the gate and the seatbelt sign goes off. Why does it bother you?
The aisle passengers who get up and start to gather their belongings while remaining at their row don't bother me. It's the folks who push their way up the aisle when the plane is on-time.
I consider these folks the same as those who don't return their shopping cart to the corral.
re: Flight reimbursement for family of 5 realistic amounts (Delta)

Unfortunately Delta doesn't owe you anything outside of refunding the unused portion of your ticket.
I've taken this issue up with Delta before when "weather" becomes the issue.
My question to them is at what point is it no longer a weather delay and actually a failure in operational management? The CSR's and supervisors never have an answer. There are obvious weather situations that are unplanned and unpredictable. But for Delta to cancel a 45 minute flight with a 6pm departure from their worldwide hub at 7:30pm is a business decision, not a weather one.
