Walmart is Out of Christmas Candy!!!

Posted by rds dc on 12/25/25 at 12:32 am
I just go back from the Walmart and it looks like the son is getting a heart full of chocolates in his stocking. Hopefully, the rest of y'all had better luck.

My evaluation of this team has declined considerably in just the last two games. Now I envision a scenario similar to McMahon's first year where the team started off 12--1 (with an upset of Arkansas)! and afterwards couldn't beat their way out of a paper bag.

I still predict 6-12 in conference play, and an NIT bid. Nevertheless, McMahon must geaux


The difference b/w that team and this team is that in CMM's first season, even with the good record, some of us were saying that was a bad basketball team. The advanced analytics for that team had them at the bottom of the SEC, and over the long run, that proved correct. Right now, this team ranks out in the middle of the SEC, much better than past teams, but not having Reed for SEC play could be a major factor. Also, several teams currently ranked below LSU should be performing better than they have so far this season.
LSU is a bubble team heading into SEC play. They are lumped into the middle third of the conference with Oklahoma, Texas, Auburn, and A&M. They really are only clearly better than SC. However, they are ranked ahead of Ole Miss, Mizzo, and State, who have all played well below expectations so far this season. It wouldn't be surprising to see them keep this up and finish in that 8/9/10 area of the SEC on the bubble, but also wouldn't be surprising to see them end up in the bottom 1/4 of the conference and miss the tournament.
CMM rolled out a lineup with no returning starters in it. This team needed time to gel more than they needed to get whipped by Top 20 teams. Now, if LSU ends up on the bubble, splitting the block, then SOS could play into bid vs. no-bid, but it will improve significantly during SEC play.
Tai'Reon Joseph with 28. Surely he can't keep this pace up.
Glad to see this. I guess it had fallen off the front page :bow:

Can someone guard Tai'Reon Joseph? Dude is up to 28 pts

I can’t wait until this FRAUD is no longer with this program. Zero vision, zero identity and zero excitement.


I'm not ready to throw in the towel on this season. Yes, the SOS before Texas Tech was weak, but LSU looked like a good team in all the games before BC. The fact that LSU was rated in the Top 25 on KenPom and EM going into the BC game shows that the advanced analytics saw this as a much improved team over seasons past.

Today, we will find out if the last two games were just a stretch of bad shooting or if this team was just feasting on weaker competition before the BC game.
Feels like a game that LSU really needs to win.
Arky has been one of the better teams in the SEC so far this season. Right now, they would probably be favored by 7-8 pts on a neutral court over LSU.

LSU slight underdog (+1.5) vs SMU currently


What’s interesting is that as of this morning, LSU and SMU have the exact same Kenpom rating. That doesn’t happens often, let alone in a December matchup.


Advanced analytics say SMU by 2, so pretty close to the Vegas line.

LSU has played only two teams with defenses ranked in the Top 100, and in those two games, they shot under 40% and under 20% from 3. SMU will be the 2nd best defense LSU has faced this season.

Look, no time to panic. Was this team a top 25 team? Maybe not. However, they are nowhere near as bad as they played in the 1st half.

Going back to the BC game, LSU is 4 of their last 25 from 3...
quote:

The only reason BC came back the other night was because we started shooting quick 3s. Doing that again and Tech is making us pay. McMahon has allowed this to happen since he’s been here.


BC played much better in the 2nd half. Luckily for LSU, BC shot 50% from the FT line in regulation.

Texas Tech is a peg below past two years.

Not sure how could LSU is though.


Advaned anayltics peg this game as a toss up.
