We have too many weapons for one or two players being out could cause us to drop to 50 points a game.

Too much 'hero ball' is the problem. Isos, pick and rolls at the top of the key and not enough ball movement - no matter who is in the lineup. We are a very easy team to defend in the halfcourt set - not going to win with the current strategy.

LSU squeaked by UK when LSU was fully healthy and UK had both guards out most of the game.


You could say the same for Auburn when they played Kentucky this past Saturday. Both Washington and Wheeler left the game and it was a 7 point game with about a minute or so to go. LSU had an 8 point lead with 2:00 to go before committing 3 awful turnovers to allow UK back in.

The best teams have deep benches. LSU does not this year.


LSU's leading scorer comes off the bench. Hell, probably 40% of LSU's production comes from the bench. This is LSU's deepest bench since the 18-19 season.

LSU squeaked by UK because LSU played with its head in its arse the last 2 minutes of the game

yes, yes it was.

We've lost 4 games. 3 of which were definitely winnable. It is not crazy to think we come out of our first 7 games at 6-1. From there, we could easily go 9-2.
