Only the Zags scored more points against this team so far this year.
Say what you want, it's a good win for sure.
ETA: WSU is an established team, while LSU is still finding itself under a new head coach. As such, LSU is likely to mature more with the season than WSU.

Solid win today, BUT, Washington St. did not return the "core nucleus" of their team back from last year. They lost their two leading scorers in Lowe and Weaver from last year. That, to me, was the "core nucleus" of their team. Still, a good win for the tigers. We need to continue our winning ways in order to have a shot at the tournament at the end of the year b/c our SOS will be very crappy, even after the SEC schedule.
i had no idea who they returned or what freshmen they recruited...i was just quoting guilbeau LINK

They were just outside of the top-25 before today.

Great job by the Tigers to keep their poise against that "pack" defense and close this out strong.
A Brady-coached team would have been lost as a goose and gotten pounded

Dammit tiger20, give it up!
LSU basketball is better off now. Your lover John isn't coming back. I'm sorry.

Whether the programis better off will be determined over time, not based upon one or two games. I hope the program does progress to a higher plateau and we finally have an NCAA national championship banner in the Assembly Center.
Perhaps you should direct your "give it up" imploring to those who can't seem to make a positive post about this year's team or coach without making a derisive comment toward Brady. Regardless of what they post the fact remains there were significant accomplishments over a 7 year period while dealing with the effects of NCAA probation. I would rather focus on those achievements.

Honestly, T20, why do you crusade for Brady the way you do? You only seem to post in anti-Brady threads and I've been dying to know the deeper meaning behind all of this.

Can you spell Final-4?

This team is playing a hell of a better brand of disciplined ball than I have seen in a long time, including the final years of Dale Brown. I have about concluded that Trent Johnson is going to be dangerous when he gets the stable full of talent. I think we have a good hire.

I was SPECIFICALLY referring to the Stromile Swift team with a ton of talent and athleticism that ran into Wisconsin coached by WSU coach Tony Bennett's father.
In the tourney a few years ago - remember?
The Badgers ran the "pack" to perfection.
Brady sat there with his usual bug-eyed, jowls-bulging-out look with no clue while a far superior athletically LSU team got pounded by the Badgers.
The win over WSU happened because the Tigers are now led by a REAL coach.
So shove it up your arse, t20.
Your lover boy is gone from the PMAC bench and I for one am thankful for it.

Washington State also returns the nucleus of a team that went 26-9 a year ago and reached the NCAA Sweet 16. Aron Baynes, a 6-foot-10 senior center, is averaging 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds a game, while 6-6 freshman guard Klay Thompson is scoring 10.9 a game with 5.1 rebounds.
I really dont know what Guilbeau means. Maybe that they only return their center. But Baynes is not good at all. His average of 10 points last year were all from garbage points. He was oretty much a non factor on defense last season. This team is no where near the team it was last year.

fixed it for ya'
after watching a Brady-led LSU team against a very similar Wisconsin team in the NCAA tourney, I have no doubt that this team would have lost to WSU yesterday had Brady still been around ... no doubt at all. Yesterday, the Tigers struggled early, but was able to make adjustments and turn it around. With Brady, it would have been over in the first 10 minutes, because he was incapable of making adjustments.

In the 2000 NCAA tourney the Tigers were defeated by a veteran Wisonsin team making it's third NCAA appearance in four years while LSU was a rebuilding program which had gone through six straight losing seasons. Wisonsin was a physical team and benefitted from a loosely called game which had a significant impact on the more finesse oriented Tigers.
It is interesting that you choose to emphasize one poor season ending game that year over the achievement of winning LSU's first SEC title in nine years and first NCAA appearance in seven years, first advancement to the Sweet 16 in 13 years.
The officials called a much tighter game yesterday which was beneficial to LSU.

Much ado about nothing. They were an 8. We were a 4. You do the math.

Wisconsin was an unathletic team that I had watched twice that year on tv get stupified-schooled by Michigan State. I think LSU would have played the Spartans a great game. And Lamont Roland and Torris Bright were not "finesse" and Stromile and Jabari were as good a big man tandem in the country as there was. Luke Walton and that Kareem Abdul Jabar clone they had surely would agree with me.

I'll throw in '02 vs. Ball State, '03 vs Purdue, '05 vs UAB for excellent measure.

Well, Wisconsin beat three other teams in addition to LSU to get to the Final Four so they must have done a lot of things right against other teams also.

You do realize that Billy Donovan led Florida teams were beaten five straight seasons in the first or second round of NCAA tourney by teams which were seeded much lower than the Gators. Florida was not a program emerging from draconian sanctions during this period either.
