yes, this team COULD do it, but many things would have to happen. temple AND tmitch would need to be dependable from 3. would have to hit fts. would have to get the right match ups. would need a lot of luck (like all champs get). aint gonna happen. im really surprised he put LSU there. probably knows cjb is really good.
as stated the lack of a 3pt threat will only take you so far in the dance. i f this team had one they would be unstoppable. brady don't recruit pure shooters so getting out of the 2nd round would be almost miraculous.
hate to rain on this party.. but we (and even Duke) are just 1 injury away from not achieving everything we wanted.. remember when Lamont Roland went down.. If the injury bug doesnt hit.. we are a sweet 16 team.
Dook can go to hell! Geaux Tigers NCAA Basketball is down this year. I really believe we can make a final four run this year.
I hope we make it to the Final Four. However, that is a very bold prediction for a team not in the top 25. Teams that are "hot" can make it into the Sweet 16. Once you get past that, its the teams with more talent and depth that stand a better chance to advance. Would be "sweet" to watch LSU make a run this year.
LSU basketball one of 8 best in nation.... according to Sports Illustrated. A very flattering article on the basketball team. Picked as one of 8 teams with a chance to win it all. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/grant_wahl/01/19/mailbag.wahl/index.html
Re: LSU basketball one of 8 best in nation.... This is awesome. I hope we just don't screw it up and lose to Bama. Anytime we get excited about basketball, we always lose.
Well injury is always a factor... it can affect any team. We've already lost tack minor for the season & hopefully that will be the end of the injury bug for LSU.
