One of my favorite traditions. The custom tee shirt celebrating beating UK in a regular season game.
Can we talk a little bit about LSU?
- Thread starter WeAreDePaul
- Start date
Another time honored SEC tradition. THIS is why Super Bowl is actually a trademarked term.
UK lost the game way before that when they let LSU come back from a deficit and take a 5 point lead. The Tip play just happened to be at the end.
Also don't forget that the UK player stuck his arm through the goal while the shot was in the air that could have swayed the Refs call or no call.
EJs hand being through the basket at that point wasnt goaltending. Read the rules.
Agree but it may have altered the refs decision to not call GT and his hand did hit the rim and moved it. Just saying but still not why they lost. LSU took it to them is why they lost.
Yes it was. It caused the backboard to shake, which changed the projectory of the shot.
It didnt, its been discussed ad nauseum on national shows who say the exact same thing, and the word is trajectory. 0 for 2 hoss.
EAST REGION
LSU has been one of the brightest surprises of the season, a fact we’ve known for at least a month. The Tigers didn’t put themselves into the running for the SEC regular season title, though, until beating Kentucky last week in Lexington. Thanks to Kentucky’s win over Tennessee on Saturday, the Tigers now have a clear path to the conference’s regular season championship. If they win out, which would include a win over Tennessee at home on Saturday, they’d be SEC regular season champs. The rest of their schedule includes what should be layups against Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at home, a road trip to Alabama and two games with Florida, the first of which is Wednesday in Baton Rouge.
Should that scenario come to fruition, how high could the Tigers climb in the field of 68? It would certainly matter what they do in the SEC tournament, but they’d likely have to win that, too, to be a No. 1 seed. We have to assume that Duke and Gonzaga are locked into the top line at this point. If LSU doesn’t win the conference tournament, it’s likely that Tennessee or Kentucky will, and a wash of conference championships would almost certainly have the Tigers behind at least one of their SEC rivals on the seed list. There’s also, of course, teams like Virginia, Michigan, Michigan State and North Carolina to consider. Should the Tigers not claim both SEC titles, it’s a guarantee that at least one, and possibly all, of those teams would rank ahead of them. Still, no matter where they’re seeded, the Tigers have made it clear that they are a legitimate Final Four contender.
(1) Duke vs. (16) St. Francis (PA)/Prairie View A&M
(8) Washington vs. (9) Baylor
(5) Kansas State vs. (12) Lipscomb
(4) Marquette vs. (13) Murray State
(6) Virginia Tech vs. (11) Minnesota
(3) LSU vs. (14) Texas State
(7) Cincinnati vs. (10) Seton Hall
(2) Michigan vs. (15) Montana
Almost certain they put us in the same bracket as Duke. Realize you have to beat them all but the only team I really fear is Duke.

Great article, very emotional read.

I’m good. Looking forward to the game Saturday.Hi Serge! How have you been?
It should be a good one. Y'all have a great team.
I’m a little surprised hybthem and worried about the Volga coming in. Tough loss for Tigers tonight though.
They played horrible last night. Waters looked like a Fr. and the rest missed shots and wide open layups and put backs. Ball was bouncing UF way and they kept getting offensive rebounds. Game over.
The free throws wouldn’t go down last night. So frustrating when you can’t capitalize on the gimmes.
After watching Florida last Saturday, I thought they might be able to pull this upset.
Now LSU is in a bit of trouble. They get UT on Saturday and still have to go to Florida.
Saturday's games just got a lot more interesting.

It does tighten up the race however if AU beats UK and LSU beats UT we are pretty much back to where we were before. If UT wins Sat it puts LSU in a pretty bad spot especially if UK rolls AU.
Regardless of what happens, LSU is having a great season.
Auburn is looking really good right now and UK is down a starter, so it could get interesting.
One thing is for sure, the way Auburn is playing right now, I wouldn't want to play them at their place.
Looking at Tennessee's schedule tells me they've got at least 2 more losses coming.
Everyone likes breathing room. LSU had the easiest schedule of the 3 of us.
You never know when a shoe will fail and your best player is out.
UF had a better game plan than LSU and used lack of size to generate turnovers. The ball was bouncing their way however they created that by putting LSU out of position. Waters had a bad night shooting and they missed layups and free throws.
LSU tried to match their lineup using a 3 guard lineup of Waters,Smart and Mayes but UF was just better and played lights out and made their 3's in OT to seal the deal.
Jevonta Stupid is really pissing me off. I'm no longer giving him a pass for his steady stream of idiotic decisions just because he is a freshman. He needs to get his head out of his ass and stop playing like an idiot. On one of his plays I started screaming NO at the TV repeatedly 20 seconds before he even committed the eventual turnover that was obviously going to happen.
Tremont was shit, that's a few games lately where he's been terrible.
Lots of people riding LSU's jock after the KY game, but what those people don't realize is that this is a team that has played poorly now in 5 of their last 8 games despite being 6-2 in that span.
Can't agree more. Starting to cringe when Smart gets the ball and starts all the zig zagging crap. He's a decent shooter sometimes and can drive to the goal at times. I just don't understand how he can't tell when the lane is clogged with defenders that he isn't going to get a shot off over those guys and takes it right at them.
They are a strange playing team. One day they look like crap then can come back and look like world beaters. WW gave Tremont an ear full after that poor shot to end regulation.
agree completely. I like Stupid taking a catch and shoot 3. I liked some of his drives last night when there was only 1 defender in the lane and he finished with a layup and a couple floaters. But, when he starts pounding the ball into the ground at the top of the key and then calls over a screen that he ignores so he can drive into a lane full of bodies I get really upset. he also has some really careless unforced turnovers on a daily basis.
I don't like when they play Tremont off the ball. He should have the ball in his hand on every possession and they should be running a lot more PnR with him and the big guys.
I also didn't like the passive way they dealt with the press last night. You've got one of the best ball handling guards in the country, let him break it on his own and try and turn the game into a track meet.
How many times has LSU?
The point of this exercise is to once again show ya that history don't matter.
