"Never leave your feet a passer"

Pretty sure I was taught this in church league ball when I was 6.

Again, it rears it's ugly head this game like it has in all others this season with no correction.

Sucking at interior defense.

Biggest LSU basketball fan pet peeve, people that think Mickey is good at interior defense.

OP is correct. Jump passing kills us and thinking the opponent can't jump to steal the ball on passes.

The OP's frustration is the same source of my biggest frustration. Been griping about it all year.

He is terrible defensively. He will sacrifice everything to go for a block. He is always out of position and hardly ever boxes out. Same goes for Gray except he never rotates to help, but constantly gives up offensive boards like Mickey.

Poorly coached on defense basics KEEP YOUR FEET MOVING. They never moved outside of the arc on defense until the last 4 minutes

blocking out on the offensive and defensive boards...something we learn when we 1st started basketball at a very early age...i've never seen so many teams drive inside to get easy layups on any LSU basketball team ever.....

Standing around on offense, passing the ball around the perimeter, then taking a contested shot.

I've never seen a team handoff the ball to each other as much as this team does. They lob balls to each other when they do pass.

No movement in a half court set. Just standing around or go run and get a handoff from a teammate.

Get some god damn position. Get big. Push the defender out of the paint and establish yourself in a position to get a freaking rebound.

Set up a freaking play.

Call a timeout.

Should I keep going.

This team is either one of two things..

Its either poorly coached or has a roster of players that don't want to work!!

Umm sorry but you should know how to box out way before collegiate ball lol. More like 6&7 year old dribblers.

This team does a very poor job of blocking out on the boards and has not shown one bit of improvement in that area since the season began.

Also the coaching staff has done a lousy job of developing any depth. We have not seen Robinson the 7-footer play at all since early this season and Epps has barely been given a chance. They won't get any better or help the team at all, wasting away on the bench.

This is too easy...saying this team is poorly coached is like saying water is wet.

Lack of rebounding, poor transition play on both ends, no offensive identity at all!
