Florida State played like they wanted this game, more than LSU did.

Ball protection in the back court needs some work. Sloppy passes back there allowed nearly a dozen points that shouldn't have happened.

Absolutely. 22-4 advantage for fsu on offensive boards. Hard to win with that discrepancy

rbdallas•65 months

without a doubt the most OBVIOUS problem. no way to win against good teams this way. officiating affected the game flow, but not necessarily the game. we were horrible on the boards....no excuse

LSU vs Bama was embarrassing.... This was a close game despite our turnovers and lack of rebounding under goal
