If you don't make free throws, you can't put teams away. The coach can't make free throws. This one is totally on the players. Sorry JJ haters.

If you save 3 timeouts while the game slowly slips away in the last ten minutes you're a moron.

Agree but putting grey in when we were up 14 and playing well was stupid.

If you think Jones is a competent coach, you are a moron.

Everyone shares in wins and everyone shares in losses.

JJ has his share of the blame as do the players. Not having set offensive plays with Martin and MIckey hurts.

any bucket in the last two minutes and we win

Totally agree. Not on Jones. Mikey and Gray were terrible.

I'm usually bitching about jones constantly but this game isn't on him

You can argue Jordan Mickey lost this game

I will not give a single frick if he leaves

You are a moron if you don't think it was coaching or lack of coaching. Game should never have been close. After missing 4 free throws, maybe you call a timeout, let the players rest, then go try some more. Gray should have played a lot more in 2nd half too. He is an asset against teams like they played tonight.

Yep on the players, we missed some good looks, and free throws down the stretch. The refs missed some calls like that over the back at the end, but if you execute and make your free throws you take the game out the refs hands. People calling for Jones' head are idiots. Every year he has improved and he inherited an awful team from Trent. He's recruiting excellent and bringing excitement back to LSU basketball. No, he's not the best coach in basketball by any stretch, but he's much better then what we had. LSU fans are the worst, they expect us to have the best coaches in every sport and the best team every year. That's just not possible. We had no depth and I guess fatigue and nerves got to the players down the stretch. No excuses though, should of won.

This was an awful way to end an exciting season, but with the recruits coming in and us making the tournament this year, the excitement is coming back for LSU basketball.

A poor free throw shooting team is most definitely a reflection on coaching. Not to mention it can partially be attributed to the fact that our team was completely worn out because we pretty much only played 6 guys the entire season. Say what you want about players not being ready to be on the floor, well again that just goes to show that JJ couldn't develop any of those guys (Bridgewater, Darcy, Robinson, Epps, and Odo) well enough to be able to compete. Yes this loss undoubtedly came down to coaching.
