LSU looked better all around the court with exception of rebounding. They seemed to scheme better towards the end to get some rebounds.

Only so much you can do scheme wise to neutralize bigger and more physically talented players but they did their best

It was the switch from zone back to man defense that they had played in the first half.

CMM knew Oscar and Toppin were bad physical matchups and would likely get us in foul troble (radio broadcast said he told them that before game) so he switched to zone in the middle of the game.

But it is extremely difficult to rebound against longer athletes when you play zone defense. When we were down 10, he had no choice than to go back to man to keep them from easy putbacks.

It (almost) worked.
