There's a lot more that needs change than just the level of talent on the team. There must be a culture change, not with fans, with the mind-set of the players. Those players yesterday didn't believe they could or would win, it was obvious from jump by the way they were playing. They just don't hustle. On one play, after he missed a lay-up, Mays was beat down the floor by the ball handler who took it into the lane. He blew past Mays and Mays didn't respond at all. Even if it's not your man, you must defend the ball if no one else is around to do it. That's not intelligence, that's mentality, attitude, and that must be changed. When Ben Simmons went to LSU his presence did more damage than his talents did good on the court. He didn't care about winning, he was just biding his time until the NBA. There was so much animosity, envy, and discord on that team, it wasn't even a team. You can't win if you don't care and you don't believe. And if you don't care and you don't believe, you sure as hell won't put forth the effort to win. The rebounding woes are a prime indicator of that mentality, rebounding is 80 percent effort and 20 percent being in the right place. These players don't rebound well because they don't care or they don't believe. It's going to take all his experience and knowledge to fix the mentality of LSU basketball. But, he is the man for the job and it will happen.
