Are we gunna fall apart after a pretty good first half?


Well 2 of our best players are in foul trouble while not a single flopping pansy from Arkansas has more than one foul.

That’s what happens when the refs refuse to call fouls on our opponents. They can play all game as hard as the want with no fear of being in foul trouble.

That last few seconds of the half is a microcosm of the Will Wade era.

Can't get the defensive rebound off a missed shot.

Then we have a defender on the inbounds pass guarding air and allowing for an open 12 foot shot at the rim.

Jesus.

No idea who Murray was guarding


It looked like he was expecting someone to switch with him and it didn’t happen. Probably bad communication.

Was the guy he was switching with invisible?

It’s not limited to WW only. It’s basketball.

Looked like he was scared to guard the guy because he would get called for a foul.

Understandable really.

IDK. I have to see the replay again to get a better assessment.

The effort is there. Can Wade make some adjustments now that the offense will be played in front of the LSU bench?

Also, in a high effort game why is Fudge not getting minutes? He had 13 points last time these teams played. Wade’s substitution patterns this year have been curious, at best. It’s like he predetermines only 8, maybe 9 guys will play a game and he refuses to deviate from the script

Nah. Gaines only has 1 foul which means he can defend hard. Just need to give him more minutes. Days is shooting well. Pinson just has to stop shooting so damn much and pass more, especially to #5 in the corner.

Basketball is the easiest sport for officials to manage. Evenly called game we’re up by 8 right now.

I think this game will come down to another 2 charge calls on Days and Eason.

It has literally fricked us.

Then all the losers will be in here calling for Wade's head after a 1 or 2 point loss

It is exhausting dealing with the refs. Exhausting. We can not beat the free throw differences in the teens every fricking game. Especially close games

He has never been great at using his bench. He was better early in the season, but has since reverted back to his old ways.

Could it be that Fudge has too many turnovers per minutes played? He probably has more TOs per minute than Gaines.

Wade pretty much said this is what he does based on matchups.

I am not commenting on the tactics of it, but it seems that way because it is that way

Not a bad prediction.

I like where we are right now. The Hogs with give us the three point shot. I really hope the entire team gets hot from the three.

Did you actually watch the first half? Pinsons scoring was the only thing that kept us in the game. Wilkerson? WTH has he done to deserve getting shots? He’s the invisible man.

"Arkansas's ability to defend without fouling.. only 4 fouls"

Shut the frick up, Jimmy Dykes. That's every game for the team playing LSU.
