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.

I disagree. I think we struggled in our halfcourt set and we were able to really force a ton of turnovers in the full-court press. Most of our turnovers weren't even from poor passes in fast breaks, most were traveling violations. I have no clue how we had so many called on us, but we had a ton of those called. JOB's were all in half court setting and he had the most on the team.

I think the tempo was in LSU's favor, but LSU couldn't stop traveling.
