re: Negative Basketball Posts

While I agree that many posters go overboard in criticism, I think that there is a frustration in the status quo being expressed.

None of Jones teams at LSU have been excellent defensive teams. There is a lack of cohesion, help, and toughness on the defensive end. Players are often out of position. I could go on.

We rebound with inconsistent effort and use athleticism only. Last night was a good example of the lack of blocking out. We gave up 15 offensive rebounds. Many times the opposing player flew in unopposed to the basket for a put back.

Based on what I've seen from Jones teams, I don't think we'll sink to the lows of Johnson (I hope not), but wonder if he will ever get an LSU team back to the NCAA tourney. I certainly don't see one on the court so far this year.
