I agree with your assessment and the injuries hurt us on offense and transition, but the big problem over the last 3 games is we simply have not bothered to guard the outside shooters. Arkansas killed us with 3 pointer after 3 pointer after 3 pointer and we never adjusted. Last night ETSU hit 10 3 pointers and again we never made any adjustments to take away the wide open 3s. I don't understand that. Another problem I see is inconsistency. Barrett may give you 20 points and 10 rebounds one night and then 2 points and 1 rebound the next. Same with Jones. I have also never seen a team just allow opponents to simply take the ball out of hands more than this team. We get a rebound and the other player just snatches the ball away. We stand and look around for someone to pass to and the defender just reaches out and takes the ball out of our hand. Also, the interior passing is atrocious. We seem to think we can pass the ball into the lane with 3 defenders between the passer and the post player and not get the ball stolen. It happens over and over and over.

lsursb I agree with all of what you said and I have limited knowledge of this years team, I really havent followed them that closely. That said the thing that stood out the most to me is the 27 of 74 shooting and I am gonna guess that 15-20 of those missed shots were inside of 5 feet, some were point blank with no one covering them. It was painful to watch.

I partially agree with both of you guy's assessment. I will say this though......
Guarding those perimeter shooters is the responsibility of the LSU guards primarily. If you noticed, when we had Webb and Barrett in there on Sunday and last night, we couldn't guard those shooters because we weren't fast enough to get to them. That wasn't happening when Hughes and Kenney were in there.
Barrett.............yep, what can you say. She is inconsistent as hell. But, playing out of position for the last two games has also affected her.
Jones used to be inconsistent. But, if you look at her play over the past two weeks or so, she's actually been the most productive player on the team. Perhaps she's turned the corner.
The shooting..............
Well, I will admit last night was horrible. But, that's not been the case over the season. Right now, LSU is the second best shooting team in the SEC right at about 45%. Last night was more of an aberration than the norm.
I think you guys are spot on when talking about the passing in general. But again, I think when a team loses both point guards, the offense in general and ball security primarily, are gonna suffer. I honestly believe that Nikki should put Lutley in at point guard and Webb at the 2-guard next game...........and let Kenney come off the bench.
