Trent's take
Here is what LSU coach Trent Johnson had to say today on the SEC teleconference about his team's 80-70 loss to No. 15 Xavier on Saturday.
"What I learned is we're not there yet, but we're not far away in terms of being able to compete at that high level like that and win a game. To start the second half, we came out, we competed really hard and played well.
"And there was a six-minute stretch there where offensively we had some good shots that just didn't go down. It's one of those situations where you have to put it behind you and understand that we're back in league play and we've got 12 games before the SEC Tournament. We've got six of them at home and six of them on the road. And you have to compete at a high level just like we did against Xavier and hopefully we can get over the hump against good teams, which I'm sure we're going to see our share.''

Another 2nd half drought almost cost them at TN, but they persevered. Almost no scoring off the bench, but the starting 5 can beat a lot of teams.
