After watching the game last night, I feel it may be a distinct possibility McMahon outpasses Tom Crean as the losingest Div I coach ever over a four-year span if he's allowed to finish the season. That was ugly, and Saturday night's encounter in Fayetteville promises only to be worse, worse, much worse.

ESPN analytics has the Tigers favored in 6 of the last 12 games. If LSU comes through, you're looking at a 7-11 SEC slate. Not NCAA tournament calibre.

DJ was a nonfactor tonight. He was on the court but didn't really change anything
Teams like Florida, Kentucky and Arkansas played Top Twenty opponents in the OOC schedule, and it's payed off for them. So how did a steady diet of Prairie View, Tarleton State, Southeastern, Miss. Valley State et al benefit LSU in conference play? They still got their best two players injured

Florida may be the lone SEC superpower this year. They don't call 'em the Crocodile Nasties for nothing.
They're showcasing Florida on ESPN. They're an elite team. LSU just happens to be the opponent.
The talent differential between the two clubs is astounding. It looks like an NBA All-Star unit facing off against the SHAPE community roundballers.

Fla by only 10 at home would be a major molar victory for said Tigers. Florida is from top to bottom a stronger, faster, more experienced and deeper team than the Fightin' McMahons.
@Mizzou. Missouri is a good team, but Florida has vastly improved in the 17 days since that game. On a neutral court Florida would beat Missouri by at least 10 now.
Is Thomas actually available tonight? Latest I saw was "doubtful". That could impact the a little in LSU's favor, but not much. Florida is a very strong team

Florida has become a college basketball juggernaut lately. Look at their last four games: winning @ Vandy by 4, @ Oklahoma by 17, vs Tennessee by 24, and vs Georgia by 15. Florida is the class act in SEC hoops, and those four opponents are all better teams than LSU. I really think the current spread of 15.5 for the home Gators is very conservative.
Prediction: Florida 88, LSU 63

Tigers have covered four of five games this season. Florida seems to be developing into a very fine team, like last year's so they may easily cover their 14 point advantage
I don't know how "unsung", or "sung" he actually was, but... Austin Deculus. His presence on the line made Danny Etling look like a decent QB and enabled Burreaux to become the superstar that he was.

He became readily identified as Barkevious "Facemask" Mingo for his predilection for committing that penalty. And at the same time I seem to remember there being a "Wingo" on that team.
What about Orville Redenbacher?

Will b there Thursday night in person, Lord willing. Went to the men's game on Jan 3-- that didn't turn out right for LSU
Garrett Nussmeier. I think he'll shine in the NFL

If we win those games we're expected to (per ESPN Analytics) you're talking about a 7-11 record. Probably good enough for NIT but not for NCAA tournament.

Our current decade began January 1, 2020. That's not up for debate. LSU has one football championship, one WBB championship, and two baseball championships this decade.

choked vs UK
UK is a very good team. Their game at Tennessee yesterday followed the @ LSU script closely. I expect either UF or UK to win the SEC, or both-- maybe Florida wins regular season, and Kentucky wins the SEC tourney. Fortunately LSU only has to meet both of them just once, barring a run in the SEC.
