This is the worst defensive basketball team in recent memory

UGA and Alabama, two of the worst offensive teams in the SEC, both put up over 80 on LSU. There has certainly been some questionable calls in this game, but this isn't the first time a team has been able to get to the rim anytime they want to against LSU. It's been a fricking problem all year, and there is clearly no emphasis to fix it. They are poor fundamentally, and compound the issue by playing with no effort on that side of the ball. I think the defensive game plan is literally to hope Mickey can affect every shot at the rim. This team may get a good win here and there when they are motivated, but they aren't going to win many SEC road games with the way they defend.

The refs weren't helping at all
ETA: But yeah, we couldn't defend the paint at all. JOB being out of the game for the vast majority of it really screwed us

Take your second best defender and put him on the bench for 30 out of 40 minutes and that will happen. The refs called 22 fouls on LSUs starting five.

It's all about knowing and adapting to the rules and we can't do it.

My deal is this, we can't stop a lay-up if we tried. It makes no sense. Just like the announcer said tonight, "LSU just isn't strong enough defensively to go far in the S.E.C."
Let's take it out on Auburn Saturday. Represent!

Yet, 4 of the top 5 scoring teams in the SEC, (LSU #3), were held at/below their season averages...

The leading reason for tonight's shite performance was JOB and Shavon only getting 10-15 mins. I don't think people realize that we can't function without these two guys.
Yes the refs sucked dick tonight, but tonight really showed how low of basketball IQ that they have. You can't keep testing the refs when they are aren't calling it your way...
I truely believe that we were not going to win this game tonight with the way the refs were calling it; but was I the only one wondering how our players hadn't learned that any contact was going to be called a foul 99% of the time?
