Well, I'd say it's a little bit more the latter than the former. Heck, playing at Utah is a tough task as it is. But, more importantly, Utah's personnel creates major issues for us. Without the depth to keep the pressure on, and an ability to defend on the interior (and let's be fair, we saw the same thing last year), it's just a tough match up for the Tigers. This season was all about how these pre-SEC games prepared us for the likes of Bama, Miss St, Arkansas, etc. We now get to see how the boys come back from this schlacking.
This does not give me much confidence going into the SEC schedule. This was more of a blowout than I expected. I thought LSU could keep it close. Final: Utah 91, LSU 61
91-61 your final. not so bad shooting really, but our D just wasn't there. We open SEC play on Sunday.
