re: Was the hype around LSU's basketball team legit?

No. I saw multiple posters claiming they were a "lock" for the tourney. Unless we're talking NIT, this team isn't a lock for anything.

17 games left to play bro.

Last two games have been discouraging, plenty of time to turn it around.

Not saying we're a lock (never said that myself), but there is a lot of bball left to be played.

This is true, but at times this season the team has looked like they had a lot of chemistry. Last night though, there was zero. I've seen awesome alley oops and things that show good timing/chemistry this year, but they just got outplayed the last two games. If they can play like they played earlier in the year, with their pressing and talent, they could be dangerous. They were a danger to themselves last night though and it was pretty eye-opening at home for an SEC opener.

whatever was on the floor vs Tenn was garbage .no effort

I completely agree, I was just curious as to where all of the sudden confidence in LSU's roundball team came from. Especially with the under-performing as of late.

LSU overachieved big time last year. Not sure how you could spin LSU's season last year as anything but a surprise.

People were confident because of the addition of high caliber freshman and with some good veterans. A lot of people thought LSU was going to do very well and they still can.

there have been more threads started on bumped about LSU basketball on the SEC Rant than there have been LSU fans doing the same on the tiger rant.

The obsession is amazing

SEC not good after UK, UF, UT... we'll be fine.
