I think we can take a lot out of this game and I still think LSU did well out of conference. I believe LSU needs to go 10-6 in conference to have a chance at the big dance. Gonna be tough, but we could pull off some big wins and have a decent shot still.
I think 10-6 is really gonna be a tough task given our first 7 games SOS. I think there is a possibility we start 2-5 and a 9-1 finish is probably not realistic for this team.
That's why I thought tonight's game was so crucial. It could've given us an outside shot going 9-7 in conference.
A couple of issues I had:
1) Shot selection - A recurring issue for me with Trent is that he does not hold the kids accountable enough for poor shot selection. I've heard Trent's reasoning and I'm just not on board with it. All four of our bigs too often settle for mid-range fall-aways, Stringer is a bit more selective this year but he still jacked two 28-footers, Hickey took a terrible 3 and Isaac took several bad shots.
2) We got worked out of timeouts. UVA hit an alley oop and two wide open 3's out of timeouts. We got nowhere near the quality looks out of ours on offense.
3) Hamilton was our only consistent guy offensively, hard to critique him, but he needs to be stronger with that ball. He let 2 or 3 sure scores bounce off his hands and no excuse for letting them strip him at the end there.
4) I would have liked to have seen a little more Courtney over Isaac tonight. I think we discussed that pre-game and I think the outcome may have been better had Trent agreed.
That's a game we could've won. Time to move on. Come back strong against Ole Miss and then IMHO gotta find a way to win 3 of the next 6 after. Won't be easy looking at the slate.

This was by far my biggest beef. Hamilton has to do a better job retaining possession after a rebound. He got it stripped late but even with around a minute left he got it stripped after a crucial defensive rebound that could have led to a tying possession i believe.
