The Remarkable thing about LSU vs Mizzou

The one thing about that game that stands out to me is how close that game was, given how much stuff went wrong for the Tigers. LSU lost a tight game on the road in overtime despite its best player fouling out, despite only 18 points on 7/23 shooting from Martin and Mickey, despite an opposing team hitting 4 threes at the worst possible moment, despite erratic play from its starting point guard, despite having to rely on Quarterman of all people for scoring, despite an opposing big scoring 5x his season average, despite turning the ball over 19 times, and despite shooting percentages of 36/27/57.
This team hung in there when everything that could've gone wrong did, and all TR talks about is how bad of a coach CJJ is. I say he did a great job getting the team to play hard and be in the hunt for a win against an SEC opponent when the team performed this poorly. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way, but its great to see the Tigers playing hard and fighting till the end. This team will be special, and I for one am proud of the way the Tigers played tonight.

I agree in many ways it is amazing how close the game was. However, it was a bad loss in my opinion. Yes LSU didn't play well, but it was a game LSU should have won.
I'm not giving up on them either. JJ is the reason we all have hope for BB.

We'll see how this young team bounces back. I'm not going to stress over these losses unless they start piling on.

Still very early, they have time to get better. Still a great team and awesome to watch! Hornsby is clutch in my opinion.

The remarkable thing to me is that we rebounded the ball with 3.9 seconds left in regulation, and didn't call our last timeout.
Couldn't believe it. Just sat there and watched clock go to zero like a biddy team.

Best possible thing that could come out of it is MIZ starts winning a shite load of games Imo
To add to our RPI, of course.

Losing sucks, especially to a team like Mizzou, but bad games/bad luck happens to everyone. The real test will be how we respond. I'm willing to write this one off if we come back strong and beat UGA tomorrow.

JONES is not smart enough to call a timeout with 3.3 seconds to go in regulation? That is pathetic and shows a coach who can't think under pressure.

THEY WERE THE REASON EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I don't know if you watched the game, but Mizzou did not play particularly well either. So the silver lining is that even though LSU was completely careless with the basketball again; once again had no desire to close out on 3 point shooters; clanged FT after FT; As a whole played with little enthusiasm; jacked up 22 three point shots (shooting 27%); they were still able to stay in the game against a team that will finish in the bottom 3-4 of the SEC AND was missing it's 2nd leading scorer.
Yes, sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. However, other times you bounce it off your foot, let passes that hit you in your hands go out of bounds; try to attack 1 on 4, etc. Sorry, but the fact that LSU was in the game with those numbers speaks more to the fact of how poor a team Mizzou is, rather than how good of a team LSU is or how good of a coach Jones is.

Sorry, man, there is nothing remarkable about losing to that team. We looked slow and uncoached. I dont find it remarkable to shoot poorly from all 3 categories and it still be close. Quite often a team will shoot poorly from one of those a night, but all three shows not enough practice this week (Mickey can hit a mid range jumper but not free throws 
). Unless someone decides to lead this team unselfishly from the guard spot we are once again going to struggle to make the tournament. Hopefully gray can step into a facilitator\scorer roll, hightower can stop being a tard, and patterson stays consistent and penetrates.
JJ must call that timeout with 3 seconds left, hornsby and gray could have got off a quality shot. or drop it down low to mickey.
Dont know which coaching is worse, Tigers or Pels.

I posted this in a weird thread, but it is more relevant here...
Last night's loss was painful because teams that have aspirations of making the NCAA tournament do NOT lose games like that. They go on the road and take care of business against a team that is inferior. It is frustrating for the basketball die-hards here who have been with this team for years through thick and thin just waiting for SOMETHING positive to happen…some sign that good things are coming to those who have waited…and what happens? The team once again goes out and steps on its dick. I don't claim to be a know it all about basketball and I don't coach. I am not pointing a finger at anyone specifically…but that game last night should have been a W.

The missed free throws and shots are not Trent John..., er, I mean Johnny Jones' fault. We would have won if anyone would have made FTs. It happens.
The lazy play, tired attitudes, and lack of energy, even in the press was not Jones' fault either. It looked like he was trying to get the team to wake up. Ultimately, they are responsible for how they play.
After LSU went up 8, the whole team took a nap.
The lack of timeout makes NO sense. Jones should have called it and set up a play. Tie game and 3 seconds? You can get a good shot off.
NO movement on offense. Everyone standing around. That IS Jones's fault.
Horrible perimeter defense. That is the fault of the players, but Jones has to see it.
The loss is not ALL Jones's fault. Look at what Billy Donovan is saying about his own team. But, Jones has to see these things and make adjustments. Someone has to light a fire. LSU is better than this.
And, the bad thing is that this loss WILL be held against them at tournament time. What a mess.

More of a testament to how bad Muzziu is . My guess they don't win 5 more games all year . Horrible loss for us
