Well if you want to do this we can.

A) they outrebounded us on the offensive side by 6..so let’s just say that’s 6 more shots. That is NOT a staple of Will Wade. In fact, we are annually a top 20 team in offensive rebounds. So we almost always get more shots B) You point out FGA but don’t point out FTA. We shot 28 free throws and they shot 14. Both teams had 1 and 1’s so let’s just cancel that out...so 14 more FTA’s means probably around 7 more possessions where shots would have happened. I just pointed out 13 possessions to you where a shot could have occurred which basically pulls us even in the FGA category.

Every single team will struggle with a nonconference foe that isn’t good for one reason or the other. Today is HARDLY a tell tale sign of things to come. Today we didn’t have our PG, Nicholls played their A+ game, we played disinterested on defense in the paint. It is what it is. I don’t know why people try to make something out of literally nothing. You won the game, didn’t look very good doing it, the players seemed pissed, the coaches seemed pissed, they’ll move on and beat TAMU by double digits. Zero point looking into things more.

The only real thing is that Watford and Thomas are impossible to stop when they are feeling it

I thought NSU went away from their big guy in the second half, he was trouble for us

I think you are way more fired up than I am. I just said I was surprised to see that stat line.

And if you want to talk basketball, you have come to the right place. Basketball is my job.

There is no answer for the defense and rebounding. Road games in the SEC will be very difficult. None of this is new.. LSU is undersized. We were undersized last year. Below average perimeter defenders. Below average interior defenders. Below average rebounders. Above average on offense
