I'm not sure this is accurate. The advanced analytics had this team ranked in the mid-50s preseason, so it was a legit bubble team. Not having Cook eligible hurt during OOC play. However, the last 3 games have highlighted some of the concerns about Cook in conf play. He is shooting below 35%, including below 20% from 3, and has 14 turnovers. He has to play better for this team to have a chance. A real positive for Cook is that his defensive play has improved over last season as CMM has coached him up.
The offense is streaky and is 5th in the conference in 10-0 runs per game, but they counter that by completely disappearing at times. The streaky offense and not so great defense has resulted in LSU giving up the most 10-0 runs in the conference, even worse than Vandy. So they are never truly out of a game but no Tiger lead is safe

Yes, he has to be more efficient for us to be at our best.

I'm not seeing the same things you are here, I have been very disappointed with his defense. Or else his defense at Tulane last year was absolutely horrible.

What idiot on the face of this planet would have us as a bubble team? I love LSU basketball with every breath in my being and as a season ticket holder, booster and major supporter that knows the previous regime left us in the worst situation possible we’re at least a year away from any postseason play.
