don't put the blame on the refs, poor defense

Quit blaming someone else. That was poor defense, too much dribble penetration. More games will be lost if the other team shoots all night from the paint.

Poor defense begat bad calls which begat even worse defense.
The players effort and the refs can both share in the blame.

With no fouling at the end of the game the foul totals were 33 vs. 18.
Quite the spread there.

those were fouls. The team will not get better if they don't correct what happened last night.

The refs deserve part of the blame. There are a number of reasons we lost, and they are part of it.

Officiating wasn't good, but UGA was definitely the more aggressive team.
They lived in the paint, nothing but good things were going to happen.
Refs were definitely not the cause for the loss.

Not all of them were fouls. And some of the fouls on LSU apparently weren't fouls on Georgia.

Worst defensive effort I've seen from a basketball team in quite some time - at any level. Amazing how they played so well defensively the last few games. Having JobIII in foul trouble was a killer. He could not play aggressive the entire night. We'll be all right. Just stay out of foul trouble. To end on a positive I thought guards played very, very well.

Has a lot to do with JOB getting 2 fouls in the first minute, and you could tell we were really surprised by that. Then our interior defenders started playing tentatively and looking to avoid contact (only to have a foul called anyway).

I saw fouls in the second where I wasn't sure if we had even touched the Georgia player. When things are that bad, I'm not sure what you want the players to do.

i don't think people are blaming the loss on refs. I think they recognize the officiating was horrible. Lsu probably didn't deserve to win the game, however, the officiating was the worst i've ever seen. I've never seen a foul called nearly every time down court. It was even worse when players are purposely trying to get out of the way, players with the ball are purposely jumping into people and leaning into people hoping for a foul. That's sad.

Right. LSU lost on their own merits but the reffing made the game nearly unwatchable - boring and slow.

which is why we should have stuck with the zone defense. instead they drew guys like JOB out of the paint which further risked and led to fouls.
So i have two knocks on Jones for this game:
1- shoulda went back to zone to help with D in the paint and foul trouble (Georgia is worst 3-pt team in SEC!)
2 - Jones shoulda been the one climbing all over the refs for their calls even drawing a technical if necessary to fire up the team.

LSU should have been able to run UGA out of their own building last night and didn't. They've got to quit laying eggs on the road.
Agree but UGA shot pretty darn well last night too.

Georgia hit 5-9 last night FWIW

We got destroyed in the paint, both offensively and defensively. Terrible showing, besides a few possessions.
They moved the ball very well and sliced our zone. We were very stagnant throwing up over 20 3pt attempts.
There are plenty of reasons why we lost, but agreed. I don't think we should put the blame squarely on the officiating, even though they were part of why we lost.

Yeah because our players were scared to play D because they would get called for a foul.
JOB- Fouled out
Shavon Coleman- Fouled out
Hickey- 4 Fouls
Mickey- 4 fouls
Martin- 4 Fouls
UGA shot 46 free throws and had 32 points from them. The refs were terrible

It really did.
I know a lot of people are saying SEC refs are terrible, but there are no SEC basketball refs. All of them are independent contractors, throughout the NCAA.
I'd like to see the SEC actually employ their own officials with the stated purpose of improving the quality of the product.
If they're going to tell teams to schedule better in the non-conference, then back that up with getting better officials for the conference games.

I completely agree that defense was lacking but seriously the difference in the FT attempts is absurd. UGA had 46 Free throws. they had 45 FG's attempted!! 
Oh and UGA shot 60%
