Has nothing to do with the level of competition the first 15 games? Lol



We beat Kentucky and Tennessee. The first 15 games (oh btw we beat at least 4 to 6 tournament teams in the OOS schedule) has NOTHING to do with us right now. We are battle tested but it just is not happening at the moment

I’m told it’s because of the refs.

Pinson isn't really a scorer so this logic is flawed. Did we play better with him on the court yes but if we can't hit buckets it won't matter.

Irrefutable logic.

Plus, we’re playing those powerhouse teams.

3) Coaching



insufferable clown. Tell us what coaching changes you see needed. Dont just say "better offense" or "less turnovers" or "better sets". Go into detail as to how that could accomplished with the current roster as it stands.

you wont, cuz you cant. You show your cards in every thread and you are not working with a full deck my guy

You forgot to add the murray injury, him only shooting 5 shots all night is a problem



Wade mentioned in his Press Conference, last week, that Pinson, Days, Murray and Gaines were all suffering from some type injury.

Also ill-advised shots.... whenever we are up on close in points, we should not be taking 3 pointers, instead should be rotating the ball.

I feel like 3 out of the last five games we have been in massive holes at some point in the first quarter.

I'm sure someone has a stat on that somewhere.

Seems like every first official time out we have 4 points or less

It's that the offensive approach he had in those first 4 seasons isn't effective with THIS group of players.

This year LSU doesn't have that level of guard play. So when much of your offense relies on the guards creating it you are only as good as those players. You are seeing the results.

correct, but that's where coaching come into play.

Wade should've noticed in pre-season practice that his guard play won't support the type of offense he likes to run, and he should've adapted early with a different offensive scheme for the players we have.

Plugging players into a predetermined scheme, when they're not the right fit, is poor coaching. It just is.

Too many 3 point attempts without the set up.

Without an offensive presence like Adam Miller, we were always 1 year away from a seriously deep run in March.

Watch out next year.

This is the problem, the fact that we were relying on one guy to be the offensive presence is no bueno.

This team has a bunch of freak show athletes and no actual shooters nor inside threat, especially defensively.

Four of the eight players that were in the rotation are injured.
That forces the other four to play extended minutes. The late game explosion to which we were accustomed has been thwarted.

Wade not having an elite, or at least a solid, point guard is disappointing. I think he whiffed on his point guard drafting for this season. Especially in the point guard playing pool, or lack thereof.
