Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4520353, member: 2117"] Good win for LSU but I agree with others, I don't see them as a top 3 team. I think more realistically they're probably in the 6-10 range, but honestly they're hard to gauge since the SEC is so weak this year and they didn't play anyone non-conference. Tournament time will be interesting if they are a 2 loss team with 2 bad losses to South Carolina. I can't think of too many other examples of a P5 team that will have played exclusively unranked teams, plus the #1 team twice. That said, with Morris stepping up her play, they have a very talented and athletic trio in her, Flaujae Johnson, and Angel Reese that could give any top team fits. Angel didn't have a great night for her and still wound up with 18/17. The intensity was missing in the first half but she brought it in the second. For someone with as big of numbers as she has, she really isn't the most polished player but she gets those numbers based on sheer will and effort on the glass--I enjoy players that are high motor like her even if she is quite cocky on the court. Morris was great tonight, I love her story of being kicked off by Kim, bouncing around colleges and finding her footing the last 2 years under Mulkey. Off night for Johnson but she's been consistent all year for them. She's one of the top 2-3 freshmen in the country (after Latson and debatably Van Slooten). I think they're a solid team, but I'd definitely bet on SC/Stanford/Indiana/UCONN if they met up with LSU in the tournament based on what I've seen this year. I think it's more of a toss up if they matched up with any of the squads ranked 6-10. [/QUOTE]
