Everything is a grind. The officiating is getting in our heads. The lack of offense flow is killing our confidence. If us fans feel it, think how the players feel.

Our rotations on defense are getting worse game by game too ... some guys are getting more and more exposed on D.

Love this team and hope they can figure it out, because they play super hard every game.

Never seen a team work so hard at both ends of the court to have such contested shots on offense. It has to drain you physically and mentally.

Thats where Coaching comes in. You HAVE to be able to call or draw something up from time to time to help your team get baskets. Wade cannot do that.

He’s did it multiple times today. We just missed the shots at the basket. We had some great looks off of set pieces but we didn’t make the shot.

It all boils down to we don’t have shooters. We have talent but we need one or two sharp shooters

Ray, the competition has simply improved


The competition has improved since the team was flying high after beating Kentucky and Tennessee? No.... the confidence of the team and energy is lacking currently. They've been on an extremely tough stretch of games without their lead guard. LSU will finally get Pinson back for a full game, and youll see that once they start knocking off a few wins in a row again that everything will come a little bit easier that it is right now. It's easy to see that Eason hasn't been his best the last 4 or 5 games, Pinson has been out, and Days has been out. Confidence plays a huge part in sports.

Everyone talks about the offense being terrible, yet when the team was healthy and playing well, they picked apart a top 10 Tennessee defense. They were moving the ball well, shots were falling, and nobody was bitching.

Yes exactly the close games worried about fouls is getting to the guys that have been in the floor throught the injuries. I feel for them you could def see the rejuvenation in days vs rest of team. Lol maybe they should just play the next game with
Murray
days
pinson
Eason
Gaines
All riding the pine sub 15min games get em some time to get mind right lol

Starting 5 for the game would be Williams 30+min
Wilkinson 35+min
Fudge 35+min
O'Neal 30+min
Reid 30+ min

Lol let's see what happens

Team is tired. See the number of close shots that come up short. We are are thin at guard and have put a ton on Gaines and Murray. Those 2 give so much effort.

Big opportunity to get 2 in a row vs. Ole miss and @ vandy. Get it done and pair it with a steadily improving pinson and the basket will start to look a little wider. College basketball is a game of runs not only over the course of an individual game, but through the duration of the season as well

I am a WW supporter, and I think we will be fine. That being said, he seems very tired mentally as well. He just seems not himself the last couple of games. Wonder what may be going on behind the scenes. Makes me a little nervous, TBH.

ETA: even with the huge win over A&M, something seemed a bit off with him.

1. How many SEC games have we played when all our top 7 players were available to play? I think the answer is 2, UT and UK. (Please correct me if I am wrong about that.)

2. The intensity with which we play D for 40 minutes takes a toll especially when all your best players are not available for their alloted minutes of play. That extreme effort shows up in lax play on offense.

Still, we are 16-5.
