If Turner doesn't find his stroke consistently, this team won't sniff .500 in the league.
He is the X factor on this team. This team needs scorers on the perimeter in the worst way.

Hamilton is solid. The only problem you'll see with him is against a guy like Moultrie who can out-quick him down low and can finish. I'd like to see our Offense run through him more.

Warren is pretty good, but undersized. He really helps when he's making that 10-15ft jumper.

Stringer is an undersized SG. He needs to be a little more consistent. Like last night when he went on an 8-0 run by himself. We need more of that from him. And he needs to limit his "Tac" moments.

Hickey is impressive for a freshman. Yes, he makes some bad decisions at times and careless turnovers. But, if you surround this guy with better talent, he'll win you championships. He just has something about him that you have to like.

Turner???? What happened. I was really pumped about him after last year. This year, he's struggled to find any consistency with his offensive game. You can still see he's capable. Not sure what's wrong, other than confidence.

Bass has been a pleasant suprise. He made 2 3's last night, WOW. Really good guy coming off the bench to spell Hickey.

Isaac needs the game to slow down for him. He takes some BAD shots at times. But, you can see the talent. It would really help for his game to improve late in the season.

Not sure what happened with White. But, we'll need him as the year progresses. Lugwig is what he is. In certain games, he'll help. Against athletic guys, he'll struggle.

Turner let's Hickey or Stringer out rebound him.It's not like he's averaging 20 a game -should do something to make up.Hope I'm wrong but, he has No fight and you can't teach that.

I agree that Turner is one of the main reasons for the recent woes. If Turner did nothing but repeat his freshman season, with no improvement, we would probably have a couple extra wins. We may have won last night. As it is, he has regressed.

I am a real fan, but yeah I'm being realistic. No point in lying about it... LSU was leading most of first half last night. The players have shown some improvements and some talent but the coaching is failing on bringing home the Win. Saw it again last night...

9-7, two SEC tourney wins and we're dancin'!


Dancing where, no way this team gets in the tourney, one quality win against Marquette doesn't get you in. Bama won the west last year and didn't get in the dance, unless we are now calling NIT "the new dance" which is about as far as we can hope for.
