I think we're making LSU out to be some world-beater when they are your pretty standard Top 30-ish team.
You can definitely make a case that other teams have more depth than we do, but as far as the players on the court at a given time -- with Nebo/Flagg/Gordon out there we aren't severely out-talented by most teams.
Our problem comes from lack of depth past 4-5 guys, and when you are playing tenacious defense for 40 minutes you gotta have depth.
LSU has a mediocre defense, but a top 5 offensive team. Long athletes that can score and shoot. They can score inside and outside. They rebound well and make FTs. If their defense were better, they'd be a top 10 team.
