LSU turned the ball over 20 something times. How much basketball do you watch?


Please explain to us "unqualified" how that is?

I've watched enough basketball to know WW relied too much on individuals making moves one-on-one.

If you do this, imperative that you protect the damn basketball and they've not done that all year.

Yes.

Iowa St wasn’t very good. Wade could have made enough adjustments to get LSU over the top.

1. Pinson needed to be good tonight. Instead, he was terrible. 2 points and 5 turnovers. I blame Wade for putting the offense on the shoulders of a guy who has been inconsistent for 4 years. That said…Wade would have made some adjustments. Nickleberry just couldn’t. He hasn’t been a part of the game planning all season.

2. Wade would have adjusted the defense to take away their ONE hot scorer. Days have him space to take two dagger threes. When the opponent only has one guy who is scoring you simply can’t let that guy beat you. Wade would have made sure he didn’t

You got rid of their coach. The guy that recruited them and had their back all year. They didn't give a crap. You ever played sports?

The sound argument can be found any any game Wade coached this year that we couldn't turn their guards over like 100 times and had to rely on a half-court offense. They beat us at our own game defensively and shot about 30 uncontested 3's. Looked just like our team the whole SEC schedule

Without question.
The glue to most teams will be an upper class point guard. The glue to this team was Will Wade.

Let’s see. We almost beat a team that had their entire staff on hand and the question you ask is would we win with our entire staff. YES! People who say no… I have some ocean front property for sale in Arkansas. Hit me up it’s a great deal.

They were lazy all night. You don't turn the ball over that many times if you are in the game.

You have to wonder what runs through Pinson's head.
What league in the world wants a skinny guard with only an average handle who can't shoot.

Pinson has lead the team all year.
He played like shite tonight it happens.
Guards were always going to be this teams downfall.

I think so. Nickelberry isn’t totally at fault, the players were so sloppy and careless. I didn’t like the slow tempo we started with when we could’ve run

He would’ve eaten arse at halftime

Sounds like a problem if they didn't give a crap.

No! Same shite...different day. They've played like this ALL year! What have you been watching all year? A different team than I've been watching?

No question on all three.
My point remains. He's skinny, has an average handle, and can't shoot 3's fer shite.
It was always going to be their downfall because of his level of play. When he was good they were good.
Tonight he was worse than bad.

We probably would have had a better chance, but we easily could have also lost too. We lost games to Ole Miss, Vandy and South Carolina this year, so having more talent and our coach didn't always equal a W against lesser teams.

With Pinson and Gaines combining for 2 points total and 7 turnovers, it's surprising we were as close as we were. They had terrible offensive games.

No doubt about it. In fact, with Wade on the sideline this team easily makes the final Four and maybe, with just the right breaks, wins it all.

I think we would have won...but not by a lot. We would have played the same offense and the same trap defense that leaves a three point shooter open, you know the same one we have played all year unless someone is hot that night.
