It's so fun to keep up with the whole SEC. Honestly it's normally keeping up with 1 or 2 players per team plus their style of play. I like to do research (KenPom.com is amazing if you have $25/yr to spare) and you can really get into it.

first year watching? top 15? you dont make those kind of jumps

If LSU beats Gonzaga at Gonzaga they will be in the top 15.

Anyone know much about this Gonzaga team ?
Maybe a good team but not quite like the Gonzaga teams of the past?

---

Pretty damn good team. They play an 8 man rotation similar to LSU including a 7'1" center and some 6'10" guys. They have shot almost 50% from three point land thru 2 games so they are deadly from just about anywhere. Gonna be one hell of a test early on. A great chance at a signature win against a team that will win a ton of games this season.

I didn't want Kiffin keeping anything from that abomination of a roster that was last year. He obviously went for guys in the portal with multiple years of eligibility so hopefully he cant start building more continuity.

Is the game on tv ?

It's on SECN+ so if you have SECN you can find it on the ESPN app by logging into your cable provider. I did also notice for last game I was able to get it thru youtube tv which caught me off guard.

We didn't dominate TSU last year -- had to come from double digits behind in the second to get by the Texas Tigers.

Well that's just not true. :lol:

We haven't played them in a bit. I'm looking back now...


looks like we played them in 2016, but it was a close one. :lol:

You can feel the excitement for this weekend in Baton Rouge and no better way to start it then booting up tonight.

Need to get everyone out to the PMAC to start the festivities. Get there early if you are getting a free ticket with your football ticket cause the ticket office does get backed up a bit.

LSU will dominate this game as Texas Southern is not very good, but that doesn't mean you can't get excited, get on campus, and watch MBB kick some arse.

Also, the first 1,000 fans will receive an LSU Boot Up koozie.

I like that you exist so I can laugh. :bow:

I have a feeling Night Vision is gonna be missing from the rant next week.

Yall whinning about winning by a lot of points? Sad what this world has come to. If you mad then stop them.

I will say this brings up a pretty good stat that I see KenPom is tracking...

Last night LSU's average 2 pt distance was 4.3 feet. Last year our average was 6.1ft. We were definitely getting to the rim more than we have in the past.

Love Hunt, he is the only one who really seems to want to talk about basketball. Loved his old basketball podcast, wish he'd start it up again.

Same. I had the podcast favorited and i checked it yesterday and found nothing. I was sad.

I really enjoy Hunt. He gives it how he sees it and he is able to take off his P&G glasses and look at things reasonably. His adoration for basketball and baseball as equals to football is similar to my feelings so he's always resonated with me.
