We finally got rid of our terrible 5 foot guards. We have some of the best size in college basketball, and a very solid starting 5. Are we gonna make a run? Absolutely notbut we are not worse than 72 teams

Way too low. We look to be a bubble team.

We will be better without Marshall Henderson despite what the national talking heads with be saying in the offseason.

LSU will be very improved as well. Finally have big guards, depth, and a long team that fits Johnny Jones' system. Hopefully can get a top 4 SEC finish and get into the tourny with an 8 or 9 seed.

The 73 ranking is pretty much a sign of ignorance from what I've see at a couple of practices.


Ranking a team based on what you've see at practice is pretty damn ignorant too.

It is formula based.

Polls are so stupid. There has never been one poll the same 2 weeks in a row. Do you understand what that means?

More like big 2

The rest of the league needs to get their act together. I want to see LSU succeed.

There appears to be at least one digit missing from this ranking. No way we are less than 100

Having LSU at 73 is really bad, but I understand. He uses metrics like returning players, last 3 years victories, etc... LSU is going to start 3 new guys. I'd be shocked if LSU doesn't rise into the top 40 before OOC is over.

Im a huge Ken Pom follower, but you have to know what you are looking at.

This is a metric he uses in his rankings for the whole year that base each team off their past success rather than what anyone expects for the year. He doesn't do rankings on expectations as much as actual results.
