re: Bball is losing for two reasons.

Undisciplined defense.
Ole Miss made, I think, four shots in the second half. The rest of their points were at the line.

I like that this team is putting an emphasis on defense, but they tend to pick up too many needless. cheap fouls.

LSU had 19 offensive rebounds last night and took 23 more shots than Ole Miss. Had more assists and steals. But Ole Miss shot 31 free throws. 23 points at the line; almost a third of their total points.

I like to blame the officials as much as anyone else, but I’ve seen some of the fouls this team commits. Some are good hustle fouls and some are pointless.
