We were out rebounded 46-33. Its fricking embarrassing that after Simmons, our bigs guys had a combined 4 rebounds. TQ and Simmons had 24/33 rebounds. Somebody has got to step up there.

We shot 9/26 from three. Lots of wasted possessions there, a lot of which were poor shot selection.

Our free throws weren't awful, at 21/27 for 75%.

We also had 31 fouls. Now a lot of those were due to fouling at the end of the game and in OT intentionally, but our defense has to get better at contesting shots. Either we were fouling them or not even contesting. Either way, the other team likely wins that possession. Our defense is why this team is bad.

Turnovers were pretty even, 13-12 in Houston's advantage.

Also, if Hornsby keeps playing at this level, he's gonna have a good chance of being drafted. He was far and away the best player for LSU tonight.
