This team is a Poor Rebounding, Poor Defensive and Poor on Fundamentals team.
We are rebounding 2 more per game than our opponents. Doesn't make us a great rebounding team but surely not a poor one. We have 5.1 blocks per game vs 2.9 for opponents. Do we need to improve on defense. Yes we do but we aren''t as bad as you paint it.

We are playing the same type teams this year as we did last year so I think it is fair to compare them.

No. We have played very poor competition. We outrebounded Texas Southern by 2 and they started forwards who are 6'5 and 6'7. There are stretches where we don't block out at all.

And that's usually against teams that are much smaller than Lsu .Also Lsu doesn't have the WANT to compete for 40 minutes, and that's not coming from me that's come from a player that said in an interview "we can defend when we WANT to ".This is why We see Lsu come out and get down by double digits early,then lock down and claw back late to sneak out a win.It's also part of the reason we see like last night Lsu jumps up by double digits and all of a sudden the lead is gone just as the WANT to play D ,rebound etc.is also gone,Lsu doesn't mind trading baskets.
