Will Perdue Nailed It...

The only thing consistent about this LSU team is its inconsistencies. They go from world beaters to bottom feeders in a matter of minutes and vice versa. What that says is that this team is streaky.
When they play with a controlled aggression, they play with anyone. But as soon as they get a few turnovers and miss some shots they fall apart. You can actually sense it happening. A coach has to recognize that and change the momentum. Whether that's calling a timeout, drawing up a play to get a mismatch, or just changing the lineup, jones needs to figure it out. You would have thought that with the close wins early in conference play we'd be really good at winning down the stretch. But it's been the opposite. This team has lost its confidence. This is another loss where we practically don't score again in the final 5 minutes. 5 minutes!!!! 1 FT.
And I know we're all tired of talking about it but can we screen on an out of bounds play from the baseline?!?!? Have we not learned how dangerous it is to just drift the guard out towards the backcourt? Is that really the best out of bounds play we have in the entire playbook?

This is a function of depth too. We have none.

It's not like every coach holds the magic solution that can solve all problems in one minute long TO and Johnny Jones just decides not to use it.
This is an issue that I'm sure the staff is doing their very best to fix with practice and in game work, but sometimes teams have tendencies and they aren't always easy to fix.
Who's to say a TO or line up change would help? Maybe they've noticed it's better to let them play it out and messing with them makes it worse.

It's been a complaint of mine all year. The problem tonight was LSU got meaningful and productive minutes from bridgewater tonight. It was Mickey who got outplayed in every phase.

This has been an issue since the beginning of the year. What's discouraging is the 2 bigs leave and we are back in the same situation.

Well that philosophy sure worked tonight didn't it? In these losses, what really has jones done differently? Have you seen one set play?

The bench can play (and kept us in this game). The problem is that coach Jones doesn't play the bench. Possibly the worst in-game basketball coach I have ever seen.

He certainly didn't dial up the right combination of players or the right plays. It's really getting old, and as a fan it's getting really frustrating. This team needs a 10 point lead with about 3 minutes left for me to feel even remotely confident they can win. And with these close games you can see the players starting to lose confidence they can get it done. No one has stepped up with big shots since the South Carolina game.

I've seen a few attempts at poorly executed sets but no not really. And I don't disagree that what we are doing at the end of the game isn't working bc it's not. I'm saying that it isn't like he has the solution to our problems that he can implement in one TO

BS
We had 5 bench guys hold there own in first half.
Our problem is inconsistent play and scoring droughts.
And terrible inbound plays.

look. We had an 8 point lead with just over 10 minutes left. A&m went on a 12-0 run to take the lead by 4. There's NO other coach in the league, and probably the country, that wouldn't have called a timeout before A&M even tied it, much less go down by 4. And don't tell me that with LSU scoring the next 4 points to tie it justified his not calling a timeout. The damge was done, and the momentum by that time were clearly on a&m's side.
