we always get to be that team that *could* “surprise” someone. so what else do we know about LSU..

Athletic, some talent – horrible, horrible decision making. Wildly inconsistent. Smart, disciplined ball will beat them 9 out of 10. Also to note on the ‘focus’ and ability aspects – Tigers went 25-44 from the FT line in their OT loss to Auburn. That says a lot. Hornsby is their (poorer) version of Turner. Neutralize the guards, let the big men make mistakes and bad decisions. Get them in foul trouble – you don’t do that by settling for contested jumpers.

If we play to their whims though it would be a long afternoon. They hurt you when you let them hurt you. They’re a terrible match-up for a team like West Virginia. West Virginia’s style of play is not smart, decision-making basketball – LSU’s athletes feasted. Against teams that execute, LSU is behind the 8-ball.
