It’s done. It’s over. You had your fun. I’ll never understand hating on any player for LSU but after seeing the last one and done and the effort and general give an eff from Naz, no more crapping all over him. He’s a tiger. Y’all act like it.

He deserves every bit of glory tonight. Great job Naz.

Dude, the critics were right in what they were seeing.

Easy to come back and shame them, but don't act like he has been playing to his potential lately.

What happened that second half is likely from someone in that locker room challenging him saying some of the same things we have been saying here.

Coaching was excellent in the second half getting the ball to him in scoring opportunities and that confidence spilled over out to the 3-point line.

Someone on this board called him "trash" earlier, which even if he sucked is uncalled for and pathetic. But Naz was phenomenal in the 2nd half and OT, so really frick that guy.

He sucks. What don’t you understand about this irrefutable fact.

Yup. I’ve been very positive about his skillset and NBA prospects but he has been playing lethargic lately. Tonight was what he’s capable of doing routinely.

Said it after ATM when people were ripping him, he’s learning and when he figures out to start inviting contact and trying to get to the FT line he’ll be unstoppable. Well he’s learning fast.

The game definitely seems to be slowing down for him. My biggest concern with is game was his soft play inside, but the last few games even that seems to be getting better.

I’m not talking about critiquing his game. But calling him garbage. Saying he sucks. Literally nitpicking every mistake. Thems the haters. If that isn’t you, then cool man! But dude brings it everyday. Makes some mistakes, but is amazingly athletic, still semi awkward from the growth spurt, but does some spectacular things daily. And we saw an inkling of a post game today.

Just saying. Love him. Cuz he’s here one year. And I’m damn glad he’s a tiger!

I absolutely agree...there is no need to ever call an LSU player trash unless he has comitted some kind of criminal act. The young men are out there trying as hard as they can and such talk is just unacceptable, IMO.

But he has to be for this team. And the 3/4. The three other 2 guards can’t maake a shot outside 4’. This team needs a shooter to draw out the D. He has green light rest of year for me,

Better and better each game. Finding his offense. Still out of control on dribbling and making stupid fouls. But what a turnaround only half way through sec.

Naz is shooting over 50% from 3 in SEC play. He may look uncoordinated at times and even appear unskilled in those times, but there are times when he gets aggressive (like tonight in the 2nd half) and he looks like a 1st rounder with the combination of things he does. We needed someone besides Waters to step up and he did so in a major way. Great W.

Yes, he is finally learning to take his place in the lane, which is what some of us have been calling for the entire season, and wouldn't you know it, it's starting to work. Imagine that?

There's no hate coming from me. Just facts about a player who was way too big to be a non factor on the boards and in the paint. I think maybe he heard the criticism and got some motivation. Good for him.

It shouldn't take that long to figure out that you're better off inside and taking only the occasional three (which is just what he did tonight), but I'm happy he's coming around. This team needs that from him, because it can't rely on outside shooting right now.
