re: Tigers still very much control their own tourney destiny

It seems this team has built from the Kentucky game, as opposed to letting it become their Waterloo. They took away from that close loss all the positives, and believe in themselves. If they continue to play together and grow as a team, they will make the tourney. It's right there for the taking.

I'm really surprised they were able to win today. Even if they had beaten UK I thought today would be too much of an emotional letdown. So glad I was wrong. This better play can be traced back to the Bama game whe Jones FINNALY got his best 5 players on the court from the start. It's no coinciden that LSU has started red hot in all 3 games. There is no reason to waste time with Gray and Malone and get off to a slow start. Get going early, and it can usually carry you through
