You must have watched a different second half. Quarterman a "ball hog"? He was the primary ball handler 3/4 of the game. The structure of LSU's offense isn't terribly efficient and doesn't create a lot of good looks on its own in half court sets. LSU relies on guys making individual plays for themselves and their teammates. TQ did that last night. He was 5-7 from the field and had 8 assists! Plus, he's LSU's best FT shooter. You want that guy to have the ball in his hands as much as possible.

LSU might have two great big men, but Mickey struggles in his back to the basket game and Martin isn't an aggressive scorer. Someone has to be. On a lot of nights Hornsby has been that guy.
