Same as last season. No consistency under Johnny Jones

This was a game we could afford to lose.

It sucks because of how we lost. Played like garbage. Quarterman nonexistent, Simmons with too many turnovers, awful rotations by Jones, and just awful game strategy in general by the coaching staff.


Florida didn't even play that well. They just played a lot harder. And their coach is 2x better.

It's that, but it's more so the lack of adjustments.

You could tell 3 minutes in that the zone wasn't the right defense. It took our coaching staff 17 minutes to realize it.

It's hard to play from behind on the road. You've got to get ahead or play pretty much even early.

I get the point but I don't think uf is a bottom feeder like auburn.h I We lost to a bubble team today at their place. Not as bad as the auburn gafs

Depressing.

I'm complaining about LSU's inability under Jones to play consistently. They lacked intensity and hustle. Which are things well coached teams bring every night.

Make the tournament or fire jones.

I'm so tired of all you rantards constantly blaming Jones for every single thing that happens. Yes, absolutely, we stayed in a zone too long but he was forced to do that because of early foul trouble. Granted I would have gotten out of that zone as soon as we gave up the first four offensive rebounds. Going zone against a horrible shooting team is usually a good idea but not in this instance.

The game was there for the taking in the second half but it is solely on the shoulders of the players. Blakeney and Sampson have not stepped up in a single game this year excluding the first two home games. Quarterman is schizophrenic. Hornsby lived at the rim but he didn't get many good looks from 3-point land. 2 of simmons turnovers were on bad calls but he was forced to do too much because everyone around him let him down. Patterson was off too. Hornsby and Simmons where the only two players on our roster that were solid today



Also I would like to point out that this team's IQ is horribly low. I don't mean to type of IQ that a coach can improve on his players. I mean the type of basketball IQ that you either have or you don't. And more of our players don't have it then do

When your players are overly aggressive and getting beat off the dribble therefor committing silly fouls, it might not be a bad idea against a terrible shooting team. Especially when their strength is getting to the free throw line by attacking

Like I said, three possessions into that zone should have told any coach that it's time to get out. There other coaches on the bench besides Jones, I just can't understand why collectively someone didn't discuss and say enough is enough

Players lost this one, not CJJ
