BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – With a 7-foot transfer from Iowa State and three freshmen who are expected to play right away, LSU head coach Trent Johnson is confident that the Tigers will be better this season than last.
Then again, they couldn’t get much worse.
LSU was 11-21 in 2010-11 and only 3-13 in the Southeastern Conference, finishing last in the league for a second-straight season.
Now in his fourth season at LSU, Johnson seems comfortable that he finally has a foundation in place to be competitive in the SEC for the first time since 2008-09, when he took a team full of predecessor John Brady’s players and finished atop the league.
The new players include transfer center Justin Hamilton, point guard Anthony Hickey, wing player John Isaac and 6-9 forward Johnny O’Bryant.
