LSU - 15 assists, 11 turnovers (still a few too many)


UK- 8 assists, 13 turnovers

tigers protected the rim again with 11 blocked shots. great gameplan to come out in zone, and press at the start of the 2nd half. wish we'd have ditched the zone sooner and played a little more man at times but it worked. jones pushed the right buttons with the subs to make it happen.

this 5 game stretch coming up is huge. we could realistically go 5-0, though 4-1 is a more reasonable target.


great win tonight brehs. stay warm.

Kentucky is a better individually shooting team.

LSU was a better team


The 3's at the end of the game showed Kentucky could ball.

I thought it was a great night. we made a few mistakes but that will happen vs uk. I love that we didn't get timid. I really can't think of any player that didn't contribute something positive tonight. JOB was a fricking man child tonight, we drilled open 3s, we handled the press and we battled. Jordan Mickey controlled the paint and the fricking white trash kid for uk now knows the lane belongs to mickey

I agree that man to man may have better suited the game late but overall I think Jones and LSU played the perfect game. UK was hot and LSU took them down.

johnny coming out like that was what we needed. liked coming out and getting an easy bucket for martin (same play we ran at the end of the butler game)

When JOB plays like that, we can beat anyone, and I mean anyone.

We took care of the basketball, had a great gameplan with the doses of press and the half court zone, beasted on the boards, protected the rim. All around great effort.

We will be underdogs in at least 2 games. 3-2 more reasonable but we need to go 4-1 for our tournament chances.

I said it after the bama loss that we should try a zone vs uk to start. I feel like uk can have struggles from deep

yea georgia will be no walk in the park, just like you say though, games we have to win. only really acceptable L would be at arkansas but if we get a run going here, i'll like our chances.

Damn 29. Even better.

He had 10 rebounds though. I'm counting that offensive rebound that resulted in the jump ball to UK.

4 of our 5 starters finished with double digit points and the only one who didn't (Martin) scored 9. So it was a great team win. Stringer and TQ helped off the bench as well.

I can't really think of any games where we never trailed Kentucky when playing them. LSU played great from start to finish.

JOB set the tone, but the supporting cast is what sealed the deal for the W tonight. Hitting over 50% from 3 and i think 50% from the field and controlling the offensive boards was key. Really great win for the program and the kids. Hope to see yall there Saturday
