The freshman look good! I think this team will be solid after a month of playing together


This. We knew it was gonna be a process when your top players are freshman. This team has potential to be really good by the end of the season.

I'm optimistic. I also really like this team for some reason.

So can this team win 20+ games this year and be at least .500 in league play?


Too inconsistent in ball handling and overall game play to win 20 IMO. I think they must improve drastically to win 20. Also, FT shooting and foul trouble are concerns. We have to keep teams off the lines or we will be eaten up by more physical teams.

I posted before the CC game that our 2 best players were JOB & Hickey with Turner may be a better player than Hickey...Hickey may be the best player if he continues performances like this first half

the good news is we didn't have one of those dry spells in that half. but when we aren't in transition it isn't smooth sailing.

they are getting way too many good looks, if they make a couple of those wide arse open threes this is a different game

Three point shooting has to improve overall as well. They get open shots, have to hit them.

def need to improve on the glass, in the halfcourt offense and defensively (opponents have gotten waaaay too many great looks thru 2.5 games so far)

i like what we've seen today for the most part. hickey is really good in transition

Which has been a major problem. It's like TJ has no idea how to develop an offense. From SouthofSouth's thread, he said:

Coach TJ continues his tenure with a very unstructured offense that allows players to shoot when they want, but hasn’t gotten LSU the easiest shots. Over 30% of our points come from three pointers

I can deal with 7. Hopefully there's no attrition and we get Rico!

Yea. I this is due to crashing hte board and people thinking a shot is going up and going to the basket for the rebounding. Id rather give a few open shots from deep than lose the rebound battle by 20 but I think we fix it for the second half.

With the size we have we should dominate the glass, but last game we got dominated by a team with no big men. That has to get better.
