It happens. Give UGA some credit. They came to play.

Meh. The team wasn’t ready to play. Pure lack of focus.

True to an extent but we've also been lazy on defense a lot tonight.

Seems to go thru for the other team... and seems to go to the other team's players just fine when LSU passes the ball.

Everything has gone right for Ga.
LSU missed some open looks and things went bad.

Watford has continued to play bad. And Days couldn't make a shot.

We don’t play defense worth a crap. Shoot the ball like on the playground and no one goes to basket for rebounding. Any team that can shoot the ball will crush this group. It been shown in many games

Never seen a team at this level or even high school that just stands still while a shot is in the air and the other team is running to the basket for a rebound. It's like they don't even look and try to read where the ball is going to come off and they definitely don't look for somebody to box out. It's baffling to me.

What is this even supposed to mean? The point is that LSU is having an off game offensively. UGA making shots has nothing to do with the fact that shots aren’t falling for LSU that have fallen in most games this year

Dead serious. You went with the easiest most cliche take there is. Give me some insight into how they weren’t ready to play and weren’t focused as opposed to simply shooting poorly.

If this team is shooting like shite they have no chance. Our O is our D. Has been all year.

It is scary that when things go bad, this team folds.

So are you going to provide any examples or just slip into the shadows because you can’t?

We were extremely lazy on the defensive side of the ball in the first half. Closed out poorly, allowed open shots consistently, which has always been an issue for Wades team. We got killed on the glass in the first half, didn’t box anyone out. Took extremely poor shots in the first half.

All of this stems from not being mentally prepared to play. Our team thought we could show up and go through the motions and win the game. Like I’ve said in another thread. I love Will Wade and I’m glad to have him at LSU. But one thing he has struggled with in his tenure is keeping his team and players focused for the entire season. He always has a handful of games where his team doesn’t show up ready to play.
