we really need a big guy


Johnny played much more physical than he has any other game this season, which is a good sign, but we definitely need some muscle around the rim. Hoping we get it next year. Odo looks like he could add some weight, but he looks athletic and is a big body.

Some of the high school guys should also help down low.

This game, the real issue was the turnovers. We will not win any SEC games with 20+ turnovers. The first two games we were doing great on turnovers, but we couldn't shoot. We just can't put it all together yet.

I am guessing since Georgia had a low scoring average that LSU figured that forcing the tempo would work. To me it looked like Georgia simply couldn't shoot and was very uncomfortable in the half court outside of a couple of shooters. Trying to go up-tempo just created a lot of turnovers against a taller team and gave them a lot of transition baskets.

We would have been better off slowing things down.

And laugh at ADP all you want. We were holding our own when he was in there. At least he is a threat to block the ball. He doesn't have to be our best player to be effective out on the floor.
