As a Laker fan I'm glad to hear this and I agree that LSSU is a second
half team.  In fact, in recent years they have "gelled" right at tournament
time to the delight of their fans.  I think a good indicator will be how
they do against Michigan this weekend.  Objectively, if they don't
do well it would be hard to recommend they be given a berth in the
tournament.  As a fan, I hate to say that but it seams reasonable.
The bad news is that Michigan is very strong and the Lakers don't
usually pull it together this early in the season.  The
good news is I have tickets for both games. :-)  See you there.
