Now LSU’s bigs are much better because they’re hypothetically better in 1v1

sure

reid vs wiley - wiley is really good but reid is 1 and done right now so it's not a fluke

kbw vs wiley - the way kbw is playing right now, blocks, altering shots, rebounding, scoring inside and out, i'd call that a wash. he was good at oregon too

mclemore vs days - days was 53 nationally. mclemore wasn't even in the top 200 in 2016 according to 247

i think where auburn shines is forward. it's an absolute onslaught. lsu is good there but, emmitt williams is more of grinder, double/double type guy. he's crazy athletic but i don't think lsu has the bodies to deal with auburn at forward. spencer, purifoy, dunbar, okeke, mclemore. good grief that's insane. it's asking alot for days and williams to handle that quintet. lsu's other players are guards; smart, mays, edwards, taylor. awesome guards but any forward that they try to guard has a big height advantage.

lsu's best shot is to lean on reid and kbw in the paint and try to get auburn into a halfcourt game which is all easier said than done. it wouldn't surprise me if auburn won comfortably again. looking around the league so far, i think lsu matches up well with everybody else in the conference. auburn will probably be the only game where lsu looks outmatched
