Christ you bunch of rantards.

Their inside game destroyed us. We missed outside shots badly. (Taz and Thornton) ... and when we did drive, we drove into a lane of 2 and 3 people .... your shite is gonna get swatted.

Quit bitching. We lost .... Not a big deal, we're in the tourney.



I'm not one to blame refs for the loss. I generally hate bitching and complaining about calls because in every game you are going to get bad calls...refs just won't get it right sometimes.

But, there really seemed to be a large number of shoves in the back under the goal by Mississippi State. That should be an automatic foul that was consistently not called. I watched that game seeing LSU players getting pushed away from loose balls and rebounds with no calls being made.

And at the end of the game, Mississippi State had 25+ free throws to our 9.

I don't think it was the only reason we lost. We could have still won had we had any production from the perimeter. But the referees deserve criticism for this game.

Exactly. Just because LSU didn't play a good game does not mean that the officiating didn't play the biggest role in the game. Miss St. didn't play a particularly good game either, they just played with more visible energy. (Which, IMO, is what the refs got caught up in and caused the disparity in fouls.)
