Fully agree. Arkansas is a capable team. LSU, to their credit, really had no business making that kind of comeback against USC on their home floor, but it does show once again very clearly that if you go to sleep, someone will jump you. The SEC, top to bottom, is a test every night. UConn just got plowed over by a very good Creighton, who has the ability to be in the championship game. These are the things that make college basketball so great, especially when we are getting that first run of spring weather and we know March is near.
This week will be a big test for our kids--how will they handle success at Auburn. Lay an egg? Crush LSU by 20? Hard to say, but I think we'll play well. I'm very hopeful that Adou keeps evolving into the tough, hard-nosed and high-flying athlete that can make us a true contender. It'll be super if we can go into next week with two more huge wins.
Overall records are meaningless--maybe LSU will have our full attention since they won at South Carolina since we played so poorly there.
