Yea, ok. They have erratic passes in critical moments. Plenty of times where they should simply back the ball out and reset but they get sped up and out of control and commit too many unnecessary turnovers. Both Poa and HVL can barely get around their defenders off the dribble, so instead they pass the ball from between the half-court and three-point line. It provides waay too much time for the defense to react and get a turnover. HVL is an absolute liability on defense because her opponent can drive around her at will. Poa plays so far off the ball handler that they make uncontested passes and when her opponent doesn't have the ball, she's still off so when the rest of the team works hard on defense, there's always an easy outlet to whoever Poa is guarding.

LSU is horrific with bringing the ball up-court against any kind of press and even worse on simply inbounding the ball under pressure....been that way the entire season. Teams constantly run screen after screen because LSU has yet to figure out exactly what they want to do on defense against it. All season teams have lit LSU up from behind the arc...uncontested for the most part.

The list goes on and on. It's not just a lack of talent due to not having a PG but it's also some poor coaching. KM is a great coach but this team has issues this late in the season that should've been addressed by now. Tonight they almost lost to Auburn AGAIN and they struggled because they kept making the same mistakes over and over
