Rivals being Bama homers is it any wonder that they would want to down the SEC with Tenn and LSU being mentioned as NCAA picks. Doesn't surprise me.

Rivals is run by CEO Shannon Terry, a big Bama booster/supporter.

I love that they're hating on us. Gives us more incentive come tourney time. Honestly, did we really think we were gonna get any respect???

That all happen before LSU started gelling. They don't realize or don't want to mention that LSU were learning off LSU's first year coach Trent Johnson. If they mention that it will be like giving LSU a free pass and the nation would start saying "Whoa LSU's Basketball has really turn things around, Trent Johnson should become Basketball coach of the year.

I kinda like this team being under the radar. I can care less if we get respect in the media, if rivals counts as media. Winning takes care of respect, we dont have big name players, we are not duke, we are not on national TV every game. Nobody sees LSU on TV because we are not. Soon we will be on National TV, if LSU wants respect...they have to win when on the big stage. And the big stage is coming soon.

and Oklahoma doesn't look that great without Griffin. There is no dominate team this year. UConn is beatable, Duke is beatable, UNC is beatable, and so on...

Goes on to say no others are in the top 35 RPI and LSU basically is weak at 36.

Says we lost to all three top 100 non conference teams but they don't mention that Xavier is ranked #19.

What gives?

You could use their own ammunition against them on that one. Looking at the various RPI's LSU has played 11 games against top 100 teams and are 8-3 in those games. They also overlooked that WSU is in the top 100 of several RPI's and they just clocked UCLA the other night. Yet another example of thoughtless reporting.
