So many problems on this basketball team

This team won't make the nit

Looks like the UK fans were right about jones.

Recruits good, but can't coach for shite.

Musselman actually helped what little he was able to do last year because we look worse this year without him.

This is what happens when you don't do a proper coaching search.

the way to fix the problem is fire jones. he is a shite coach, great recruiter

Robinson is painfully slow, Epps has a lot of potential but is very raw.

Hornsby is clutch and his shooting kept them in the game. Cant live and die by that though

I dont like Gray at all. I dont know what his plus skills are that get him so much playing time. He has never broken the awful habit of jumping in the air and trying to pass the ball.

Quaterman is a solid SEC player and the team got noticeably better when he played PG and keyed the offense.

Simmons needs to be out running and handling the ball in the open floor. Unfortunately LSU is not athletic enough to get out on the break when Simmons gets a rebound and takes off. he makes great decisions on the break but this team is not athletic enough to take advantage of it

Houston ran HS level inbounds plays and ate LSU alive. That is inexcusable. There is a complete lack of communication on the defensive end.

Perhaps Victor will solve a fair amount of these problems. by solidifying the front court. Not having a solid Juco PG to run the offense is downright criminal.

Agree on Gray !

Other than when Elbert is on the floor this team is tremendously athletic. Quarterman, Grey, Blakeney, Hornsby, Epps and Sampson can all run and jump like deer.

They didn't run the break as well today but have excelled at it all year before.

And just think,after the first game people on this board was saying they can't wait to we play Kentucky.

Simmons is not aggressive enough and doesn't take over against mid-level talent. Blakeney is too aggressive and can't make enough shots. Not a good combination for SEC play.

This team plays some of the worst defense I have ever seen. No fundamentals at all and no one has any clue where to go. If they arent guarding the ball, they are asleep. The same can be said for the way thisteam rebounds. They do block out sometimes, but everybody expects someone else to actually go get the ball. You hold your blockout until its time for you to agressively go get it. On the offensive side, against unf we saw what simmons could do when we get him the ball in the paint. He will get fouled or get a goodshot everytime. Yesterday, the couple times we got it to him he passed right away. Simmons has got to look to score and not simply pass to the guards everytime. Coaches have got to stress that ben has to get the ball inside every trip down court. The frustrating thing is that all these problems are all easily fixed, but they just aren't getting fixed.
