re: LSU +17.5 vs Georgia
Posted by Rolling Stoned on 11/30/22 at 6:50 pm
With or without Daniels, Georgia is the play. They have proven they GET Up for Big Games...you can pick apart anyone's season (we could have lost to Auburn etc).
But Facts:
1. This is LSU's 3rd straight road game and this IS a ROAD game...not a neutral. MOST NFL teams never play 3 straight road games...that is a factor.
2. Our QB is Challenged to throw and GA WILL take away our running game and make JD or NUSS throw it. And we have 0.00% if Nuss is QB with our O Line!
3. I would imagine Kirby has not forgotten 2019 and will try and put one on us and I KNOW he hasn't forgotten LOSING to Bama last year...pulling starters is a ridiculous comment unless the game is out of hand.
Our only shot at covering is a backdoor effort...GA punished Tennessee and Florida and Oregon in their 3 most important games of the season.
But hey, "so you're saying here's a chance"
Take Georgia and lay the 17.5.

Too add to the OP
Will Wade is still only 37 years old I believe (fact check that). Let the kid breathe a little and grow as a coach, but most on here don't get this.
In reality, doesn't matter what most on here think. Keep grinding CWW
I personally think this team could do some damage in the tournament A SWEET 16 run would be epic....got get off that 8-9 seed somehow!! either 6-7 or 10-11

re: LSU men’s basketball best/worst case March madness seeding?
Posted by Rolling Stoned on 3/3/20 at 11:14 pm
Seeding is, I guess, fun to discuss, but the key is avoiding the Death regions.
EX: East right now (Lunardi) has SD St, Dayton, Duke Auburn, Michigan Butler St Marys NONE of these, NONE scare me! Again, could beat any or lose to any! Bit that is what you are looking for (for our seeding)
Ex 2: Midwest Kansas Seton Hall, Lousiville, Ohio State, Colorado, Houston, Illinois Virginia, Indy GEEZ Thats brutal, even for 2020. All have bigs that we have No answer for!
So, take a look more at the teams in the region than facing a #1 or #2 Baylor, really good team, but I have 0.0% fear of Baylor.
A win tomorrow vs Arky would be HUGE to getting us to #7 or #6 seed.
Note Texas could be a QUAD #1 win in a few days!! I think it is still a Q2 win, Fact check that!

OK gotcha! Just maybe assumed Lunardi was using NET numbers and ratings to rank.
FYI if I am Villanova with 2 titles of late and I cant get any Love over the Dukies, who are THE most overrated team in the country at #6.

TL That explains the Rankings (I get that) But how does a algorithm have a bias?
If this were football, people would be losing their minds?
I don't really care that much, but if you look at Lunardi's brackets, the West bracket is a cakewalk vs the East bracket. We are currently 8 in the East with Florida on the 9 spot in the West Gladly trade positions with them!

Tourney Talk ONLY
Hopefully a serious ? the Baord can answer.
I follow Lunardi and his Bracketology etc I get some of the NET results especially using Quad 1 and Quad 2 losses etc.
My confusion: LSU loses 5 of 7, I get it, we should drop a few lines to the 7-8-9 lines right?
Duke drops 2 of 3, a 22 point loss and a Loss to Wake with a sole win over Notre Dame, but they simply don't MOVE anywhere. Stay on the 2 line! Villanova has won 5 straight in the Big East and tays put on the 3 line.
Can anyone explain this to me?

I cant recall the details but i think CJ might score the rest of the points I think he gets 29 or 30 and has 6 right now!!
re: LSU Basketball at Kentucky 1989
Posted by Rolling Stoned on 2/18/20 at 12:53 pm
I loved Wayne and Vern and Rickey, but this was by far the worst team from LSU since the 70's and we still made the tourney...when little Timmy Hardaway turned CJ inside out!

Dale mic'd up was so awesome. He fricked up so many times but didn't give an F Love it!
CJ about to get his in the 2nd half!!!

What's really funny about 80's and 90s hoops is that there is LITERALLY no such thing as a high screen roll.
For those of you who never got to see CJ, great game in the 2nd half.
BYW, for those of you who hate on Dale, his BENCH in this game scored a WHOOPING 0 points The Rant would have KILLED him!! lol

CJ can't throw it in the Ocean!!! And we are getting destroyed in the paint!
We basically have NO bench. Dale can't recruit anymore, time for him to go!!
We have Tracy and McKenzie in the game and we will lose by 30, unless CJ hits a shot at the buzzer!

Seeds are so tough to predict right now because these teams are winning/losing every 2-3 days Minnesota lost today and if they drop 2-3 in a row, they will be on the bubble. Memphis was a 6 seed 3 weeks ago and is NOW out of the tournament!
We sit at 9-3 with 3 REALLY tough SEC East games coming up:
UK at Home
@ SCarolina
@ Florida
If we somehow come out of that at 2-1 and 11-4 in conference, we have this left:
Texas AM at Home
@ Arkansas
Georgia at Home
Possible 3-0 here and that is prob SEC Regular Season Champs!
But I think 4-2 over Last 6 would be HUGE! 13-5 and one win in the tourney, probably lands us a 4-5-6 seed, Beat UK and Florida (2 QUAD 1 wins) and we could grab at 3-4 seed easy!
You need to remember that these #1 Seeds are NOT normal #1 Seeds....Gonzaga SD State Kansas and Baylor ALL have flaws....they are tough but not without being vulnerable.
Just gotta a keep trying to get better, stay healthy and I promise, we will be tourney tough when it comes down to some late game issues. We have failed many times late in games, but I think those situations keep making us better in the long run!

OH!! And Seton Hall with the best player in the country is about to drop its 2nd straight game!!
Creighton at Home and at Providence!!
Welcome to CBB 2020!! Buckle up for march boys!! It is NOT gonna be a 13 over a 4 etc, it is going to be these Mid-level Power 5 types getting hot behind the arc that create havoc!
Some Cat for Kansas today hit 6 of 9 while he shooting 27% from 3 and Kansas wins by 15+ and the world thinks KU is great. The dude shoots his normal 2 of 8 and this is a 5 point game.
Cmon, just watch more games before you blast LSU!

ETSU is a REALLY good team!!
No one on here can argue losing to Vandy. Sorry, that is JUST a really bad loss.
But Bama is NOT a BAD loss...it is just NOT. And anyone on here that thinks it is, well, they are just NOT informed!
Is any loss acceptable, no! It happens when you are flawed. See EVERYONE in CBB, and I would feel comfy in SDSU would lose 2-5 games in the SEC.
Just chill! Beat UK, or BEAT Arkansas on the road and finish the season off. grab a 3-8 seed and get ready fro March 19 or March 20!!!
Come to Vegas and enjoy the scene. LSU being in the tournament is simply phenomenal and we ARE coming off a SWEET 16 season!!

I said this after the Ole Miss WIN when I said we "in order to be elite, you have to bury OM in the 2nd half" and, lol, got crushed on here by a bunch of idiots!
We are NOT Elite, but we have a legitimate shot at an ELITE 8 run or better if we draw ok and stay healthy! But like almost EVERYONE, we could be home after the first weekend!
Mainly because MOST of CBB is simply JUST like us. Good at times, but with many FLAWS!
Teams ranked ahead of us today that LOST!!!
Auburn (most overrated team in the country)
Louisville 2 in a row and got blown out at Clemson!!
WVA 2 in a row
Butler 2 out of 3
Illinois 2 in a row
Texas Tech
Houston to freaking SMU
Bubble teams to lose again
Arkansas
Michigan State
Jesus That's a shitload of VERY GOOD teams that are losing!!
POINT: It is NEVER acceptable to lose and our trends on defense are heading towards AWFUL!! That MATTERS BUT this is not football! We are NOT one and done. The over reactions on here are insane!!!
POINT 2 Watch other games to be informed about CBB as a whole.

Bama gave up 20 Offensive rebounds vs a team that isn't a great rebounding team. Stay out of foul trouble and we should be ok!
I did see Herb Jones is back for Bama and wasn't a big factor (prob not 100% healthy) but he was OUT for our 1st game. Could provide Bama with a Boost, especially at home!
Gonna be tough game and these next 3 out of 4 on the road will probably ultimately determined our NCAA seed from #3-7

For all of you Wade haters, get ready for some fun on Saturday! Bama just jacked up 59 3's vs Auburn and made 22 for 37%
And oh btw, Auburn only shot 7-31 for 22% and the clown Cambridge went from 7-10 vs LSU to a normal 2-6 vs Bama.
Auburn now the "luckiest"team in the NCAA with 4 out of 5 wins in OT
And finally, for those of you who apparently ONLY watch LSU play CBB, the great Myles Powell just went 1-11 from vs the WORST Big East defensive team lol Lucky he missed 10 or GREAT D from the worst defensive team in the league??

I agree with all that on Miss State game (maybe i over estimated this as the worst win)
BUT Miss state IS going to be in the NCAA Tournament, they are freaking good if not VERY GOOD!
Ole miss is pitiful! The competition HAS to be part of the overall assessment, but I guess who cares
Moving on to Vandy!! Hopefully we play better for 40 minutes!
