We blew so many possesions down the stretch.

Typical horrific shot selections in key times of game.

Gray got LSU back in the game with the 3 at the end. Patterson kept taking awful shots is why he sat. Quaterman also had a late turnover. I agree we blew so many opportunities, but great hustle and effort.

Gray single handedly lost that game.

1 turnover = turnover machine? Because according to the espn game log, all he had was 1 turnover.

Once again, every little thing Gray does is under a microscope while the other players mistakes are overlooked. And half the time people make up turnovers for him.

TQ was 1/6 with 3 TOs. And Patterson had some bad shot selections. Gray played good D on the perimeter and made a big shot for us late in the game.

We didn't really do much different down the stretch than we usually do. We just notice it more down the stretch. The truth is this team has no offensive strategy. Literally none. The whole offense is based on standing around and waiting for someone to do something (either drive to the basket or throw up a 18-20 footer), then maybe get an offensive rebound. That's it. That's the whole strategy. It doesn't work very often, but it has the virtue of not taking a long time, so we keep a good pace, get some points in transition and score points anyway. But in any situation when every possession counts, its failure is exposed.

There's not a junior high school team in the country that doesn't have at least one offensive set that they run when they need to get a good shot on a possession. There's not a junior high school team in the country that doesn't have at least one inbounds play that is designed to spring someone for a decent shot. But there's a college team that doesn't have either. Unfortunately, it's LSU.

When he entered game we were down 13 ...........he gave good effort. And valuable minutes tonite. I'll say it again... He is the Only Player we have that can beat his man off dribble and get in the lane. Now what he does with the ball then is a crap shoot. But you have to get in the lane to play this game....

they cant handle pressure it seems at the end of big games...not saying all of them but it appears there's no leader, just a lot of mass confusion at the end...I'd like to see them come out with the same intensity against the teams like AU, Mizzou and the other cellar dwellers of the league...was a great game...
