re: Basketball: McNeese State 66 @ LSU 78, Final/OT

Went to the game. Played like crap for most of it. McNeese pretty much gave LSU the game at the end. Their last possession of before OT looked confusing. Should have called a TO. I thought McNeese got robbed on quite a few calls. The Flagrant by Malcolm White was uncalled for. LSU got away with some crap tonight but they played lights out in OT (still LSU got away with a couple fouls in OT that were pure homer bullshite).

Pretty much agree with all of this. I thought LSU gave a lot of effort but they have played three bad games in a row. I was finally impressed with Malcolm White, who had a good stretch in the 2nd half.

I will say that there were several bad calls, most benefitting LSU. One of the worst was when LSU fouled McNeese up 3 (53-50) and White clearly goal-tended the shot, which should have made it a basket and one free throw. I have no idea how that was not called goal-tending. LSU pulled it out but they have a lot of work to do. I have to think they are the underdog against Wichita St.
