I can’t agree more. Naz needs to get his rear on the block or elbow (free throw line) and receive the ball. He hangs out most of the possession at the top of the key.

So much for a great coach and all the hype. Wade has the horses but don't know how to run with them. This team has to much athleticism, depth and length to play such bad man to man defense. This team should be in attack mode on both ends of the floor for 40 minutes. Wade is way overrated.

I'm gonna say yes...there does not seem to be a sense of purpose on offense, guys are taking poor shots repeatedly - which is probably the main reason we can't hit a shot.

I like WW and still think he's gonna be the man but yeah...to answer your question...this is his fault.

He's still young and he's never had this much talent. He's not done a good job of finding an offense to maximize their talents together. He's gonna learn and he's gonna get better.

But right now we look like a very poorly coached team, I don't see how anyone could have watched that second half and come to any other conclusion.

Did you see the shots they were taking. Down 4 and we jack up 3s on three straight possessions while everyone stands around.


This, and the discipline to protect the ball. Turnovers are killing this team.

f we do hit a few of those, which is exactly what Waters did last year when everyone was in love with him (same shot selection)... we win both those games.

They were bad shots last year too. If you are relying on those kind of shots to win games you will lose more often than not.

Is that the coach’S fault?




It’s the coaches fault that we don’t run an offense!
It’s the coaches fault that we don’t play defense!
It’s the coaches fault that we aren’t better rebounding especially with all the size and athleticism!
It’s the coaches fault that he lets Reid continue to launch 3 pointers!
Its his job to lead, teach, and instruct!
Yes ALOT of this teams problems are HIS FAULT!!!!!!!!!

At what point do you tell your team if you shoot one more quick, contested 3, you are sitting on the bench? This game is 100% on Will Wade’s shoulders (this coming from someone who thought he was the man to finally make LSU b-ball relevant again).

Hugely disappointed in performance thus far this year.

It's his fault they play undisciplined. It's his offense. It's his coaching that results in poor rebounding and giving the other team so many second opportunities.

This is his team. He owns it.

Actually, I thought the Defense was pretty good last night.
The rebounding in the 2nd half killed us along with poor shooting.

Wade said it right, in the 2nd half we quit moving the ball around and started settling for early shots. Yes it was hard to watch, but not uncommon for a young team. Give Wade some time to fix this, there are a whole lot of new pieces on this team.

I would have loved to win, but the team should have already beat 2 top 25 teams away from the PMac. If those losses help them in SEC play to put it together, it will be well worth it.
Some years ago, I remember a team maybe 2006 or so lost to Uconn on the road in a tough game. I believe they fell to like 8-5. That game ended up being a turning point and we went on a run.
This team has the talent to do that, let's see if they will.
