LSU fans love to blame coaches but it's pretty obvious how much this was lost by the players on the floor

Mickey essentially cost us the last 8 points.

What a choke

We couldn't bounce one free throw off the back board?

I'm seriously dumbfounded. We had 60 points such a long time ago and finished with 65. Don't even know what to think.

Shut up. How often do they practice free throws? How much do they emphasize it? I'll bet it's not nearly enough.

Basketball coaches pay lip service to free throws the way football coaches pay lip service to kickers and special teams. It's important, blah blah blah, and then it's not practiced enough. And it bites you in the arse one day.

Quarterman deserves at least a mention.

I think Jones is a terrible coach, but even I can't put this one on him. The only big mistake he made was taking the ball out of TQ's hands in the 2nd half. That started the drought.

But Mickey absolutely killed LSU. Just any fricking basket. A FT,
Layup, anything, wins that game.
Plus where is Martin? How does your "best" player ALWAYS disappear down the sretch?

Sometimes there are key moments in a game, like when you have a guard at the line to push a lead further... When they shoot fts as bad as your 6-8 power forwards in the clutch, you are asking to lose.

Quarterman shot FTs like shaq , in a big moment in the Auburn game, and now the NC State game, and we paid for it.

Guards are supposed to knock down FTs

Yea he did no offensive plays, just really sickening to watch if you know anything about basketball. Could have easily slowed the game down and won with making any free throws, that guy is the worst excuse for a basketball coach I have ever seen.

You trash Miles for sneezing wrong, but give Jones a pass for his team looking lost the entire second half?

At least you're consistent in having no idea what you're talking about.

It's certainly not all his fault, but really well coached teams don't fall apart like this one did tonight. It just doesn't happen and he can't escape a good part of the blame.

No, he shouldn't be fired for it.

Can't believe people are actually suprised.

When was the last time LSU had a basketball team that was actaully relevant?

Agreed. College players should not miss 6 in a row

So why did he get the ball on the block? It's because he doesn't see the game for what it is.

martin not being fed the ball down the stretch will get lost in the missed ft/fg discussion
