Some random thoughts on the game:
- O'bryant did a great job of handling double teams. Jones made some good adjustments having multiple cutters to the basket once the double team occurred in order to hinder Bama's defensive rotations for the double team. The passing and ball movement out of the double teams was so good that it caused Alabama to stop double teaming O'bryant for a period of time.
- Carmouche had a really nice game. He knocked down open shots, didn't force any bad ones and made the extra pass when needed.
- LSU still did a poor job of closing out on shooters in this game. Even if they are trying to get a team to shoot more from the outside, they need to have better close outs with their hands up. Coleman and Morgan have a bad habit of not even getting their hands up when closing out on a shooter.
- Hickey was no doubt the spark plug to the comeback in the last couple of minutes. I was really surprised that Jones held him out as long as he did in the second half, but the timing seemed to work perfectly.

Coach said it wasn't disciplinary, but there was an obvious tuffle between the two if you were watching. Hickey wanted in much earlier. I didn't think he was gonna get off the bench for the rest of the game, but I was happy he did.
I agree that JOB did great with the double team as the game went by and that bringing in the slashing players was a major benefit for JOB.
LSU definitely packs in and allows teams to shoot the three. It's crazy that LSU's 3 pt % defense is second in the SEC because I do think they leave too many people open.

yep. they moved it around and johnny got going. and you're right about contesting shots. it's not like they are in terrible position, most times they just don't even put a hand up.
