Conference play has finally arrived which means the real season begins for the LSU men’s basketball team (12-0) and boy will these next few games be a gauntlet.
LSU’s next seven opponents are against five ranked teams while the other two (Florida and Arkansas) were ranked earlier this season. All seven opponents will likely be dancing come March. If you’ve looked at LSU’s record and said “yeah but who have they played?” well, here you go.
Auburn is by far LSU’s biggest challenge this season. They’ve got some serious skins on the wall with two “A Wins” (beating a KenPom top-50 team adjusted for location) in Loyola Chicago and Saint Louis and two B Wins (same concept but for KenPom top-100 teams) against Syracuse and Yale.
