re: LSU's roaring 14-point comeback in two minutes at Missouri, 2019

That has been one of the more frustrating things to watch this season. If (more often, when) LSU gets down big they don't extend their defense or try to speed the pace up to create more possessions. Instead, they just continue to play the same game and allow the opponent to steadily increase (or at least maintain) their big lead until the game is finally over.

Agreed 100%. I feel it is like it is continuing to fit a square peg in a round hole this year, particularly on offense. Teams have figured us out after the 1st SEC game. We have seen some changes in defenses from man to zone, with some success at times, but nothing to speed up the pace of the game with a half or full court pressure. At some point, lack of possessions become an issue late in games when you are down as the Tigers have been this year. You need to create possessions, particularly since our offense efficiency has been so poor.
