You just can't expect intensity from big men that you only give a few minutes of rest to each night.


Worst excuse I've heard in a long time.

These are college kids with fresh legs. This isn't the NBA, with older guys playing 82+ games per year.

We're only 15 games into our season. Two games per week isn't a problem for college players. College kids can play with intensity each night.

Stop with the ridiculous excuse-making.

Playing against other college kids with fresh legs and who get periods of rest. And since the other teams sub more it's like playing against two other players.

Martin played 39 minutes even though he fouled out yesterday. Mickey played 48 minutes.

All of those minutes are while LSU is pressing the other team on defense. If you don't think ball players need any rest during games then you don't know basketball. Further, the players tend to pace themselves a lot more so they don't literally pass out later on. That "pacing" doesn't help either.
