Just finished watching the game:

Simmons and Quarterman iso are LSU's offense. Otherwise there is no discernible plan

Simmons pulled a Lebron at the end. Absolutely dominant all game but deferred at the end.

This team is going to struggle if they can't make 3's. That's their equalizer. They need Hornsby back. He was a rock of consistency

They desperately need Victor. Epps has the size, but not the desire to battle down low. ER3 is huge but slow. Bridgewater is the most skilled post player (outside of Simmons) but just too short. Malone is literally useless.

They'll have nights where they shoot it better from deep.

As much as they want to be aggressive, the guards have got to keep people in front of them. There's no Mickey to clean up the mistakes and they just aren't good enough inside to allow people in the lane at will

Does Johnny Jones do anything on critical possessions? He he is the most uninvolved in-game coach I've ever seen.

Yep. Just sits back and watches. Never a designed play.

You can't be dominant if you're no threat to score outside 3 feet.

Agreed with everything but this! Did you watch the previous game when Jones was mic'ed. You could hear him stressing rebounding!! AND admonishing guys for lack of intensity on half court defensive sets!!! I was SHOCKED!!

Just got home from the game. Fantastic finish. A lot of fun to be at.

The offense looked like it had so little movement compared to Marquette's. Honestly, Marquette looked like a much better team. They had the size to match LSU and used it.

The refs were far too whistle happy.

Woj needed to get a T. Dude was 6 feet past his line. Looked like John Brady out there.

Simmons is a fricking stud. Enjoy him while we can. He will go down as an all time great. I do wish he and the guards would have attacked more at the end when their bigs were in foul trouble.

Great atmosphere. Lots of LSU fans. Even more Marquette fans.
