LSU didn't lose that game last night, Tenn. won it. Their effort was outstanding from the tip, and they shot nearly 70% in the second half. I don't need Johnny Jones to tell me about the problems with his team, just fix them. However, it would be bullshite to discount Tennessee's play and effort last night. They deserved to win that game

I agree Tenn was on fire but the effort LSU has last night was piss poor. Looked like Hornsby was the only one who wanted to be there.

That makes it even worse from LSU's perspective . When a team shoots 70% that means they are getting a lot of points in the paint which Tenn got last night. With a 6'10" guy and a 6'8" shot blocker, no way Moore should have been making easy lay ups like he did. The Tennessee forwards were practically taking up residence up close to the basket and then had Martin and Mickey constantly trying to pick up their own underwear. Towards the end, it almost felt like Martin was letting them through.

Personally I would like it if at least one of our big men was nasty and made people pay for driving and getting in too close.

Ok Tenn. played well, but lets not get carried away here. It was Hornsby vs the entire Tennessee roster.

When Tenn stretched the lead in the 2nd half they were doing a little bit of everything. They were hitting long jump shots, making difficult and contested lay ups, continually beating guys off the dribble and even posting up the LSU bigs on a few possessions.

If I had to critique LSU, the areas I would point out would be rebounding and not being able to handle the traps when Tenn played zone.
