LSU had only a single lead in this one….. 2-0. After that, the Tigers’ goal closed up and they decided defense was overrated. We knew Vanderbilt had a big guy that would give us trouble. We didn’t think A.J. Ogilvy would come in and score a career high 33 points. The ‘Dores took complete advantage of mismatches all night and the Tigers had little to answer back to keep their 10 game winning streak alive. More after the jump……
Not to mention, LSU shot an abysmal 36% to Vandy’s 51% tonight. The Tigers also struggled from the line shooting only 68%, and from the 3-point line, 28%.

LSU Basketball Moves Further Up in National Polls, #11 & #12
The Tigers piled on two more wins last week and continued their hot streak in the SEC. Now, LSU has won 13 straight conference games, 10 straight overall and for the 3rd week in a row, rise in the national ranks. The Tigers find themselves at #11 in today’s ESPN/USA Today poll and #12 in the AP poll. See the new polls here.
Some quick poll-analysis: the only teams with higher winning percentages than LSU are UCONN, UNC, Memphis, Pitt, and Oklahoma. The top 10 in both polls are almost identical, however, the 11-20 ranks of both polls involve the same teams, but the order is comparably different. For example, Villanova is #11 in the AP and #16 in the ESPN/USA Today. (more after the jump…)
All that doesn’t really matter, just something I noticed.

Open Thread: A Mid-Season Review
On ESPN today they had an article discussing each of the conferences at the mid-point of the season. Who are the biggest surprises, disappointments, offensive and defensive MVP’s.
So what do you think? This is an open discussion. I will give my thoughts on the SEC but feel free to discuss other conferences or all of D-I. If you don’t like my picks they are open to bashing
Biggest surprises – Honestly, it would be easy for me to say Vanderbilt but I am going with Alabama. They were not highly ranked at the beginning of the season and they have been very impressive so far. This is a young team and it just goes to show that Saban is a really good coach. I also think Vanderbilt will trail off in the second half of the season.
