re: Lsu basketball Center play

I guess that is a very long-winded way of saying LSU being out of TOs for the final 4:00 made playing the offense/defense game more difficult. Thus, McMahon just went with who he felt was his best player down the stretch.

I see what you are saying but there were stoppages in play where subbing could have been done, particularly the last sequence he could have subbed him out for defense, but he was not even considering it which really puzzles me.

hat ultimately played out was UGA taking the lead and Baker getting fouled on the other end. He hits the two FTs that proved to be the game winner. Dean is one of the LAST guys you want taking those. If LSU had a TO maybe they sub Dean in for Baker after the FT. But they didn't. And UGA didn't use a TO on their final possession to allow LSU to sub.

We were very fortunate a foul was called right there, because that was a clean block, watched it again when I got home. and the way he was turning the ball over in the second half I didn't trust him on offense either. And hell he missed two straight free throws just a few minutes earlier in the game.

I'm not saying put Dean in - what I've been arguing for a month now is why is it that CMM thinks he can only sub Baker and Dean for each other and not play Dean and Fountain together? Brady even asked CMM that after the Kentucky post game on the radio.
