re: Keys to the "W" today over Kentucky

how you going to make one team play two times in a row at noon. thats f'ed up.

what a new and creative joke. you, you, you, you know comedy.

Having the 2006 lsu men's basketball team show up to play.

1. Create space for our shooters - Kentucky's guards are so much taller than our guards that in the first game our guards could barely get off an outside shot. We sometimes do a poor job of executing both ball screens and other screens away from the ball. We have to execute to perfection on offense to create open shots.

2. Get Davis in foul trouble - Davis controls the paint. If he doesn't block shots, he alters them. We actually have a lot of size down low, so we need to go at him early, pump fake him and try and force some fouls.

3. Push the tempo when we have the numbers - Kentucky is so good in their halfcourt defense that we need to get some fast break points. When we made a run in the first half of last game, it was spurred by our fastbreak points.

4. Make Davis shoot from the outside - Lately in games Davis has been more inclined to shoot from the outside. I would sag off of him and make him take that shot. Davis taking an outside shot is a much lower percentage shot that Teague, Lamb, and Kidd-Gilchrist.

5. Don't play zone - Our top 2 players in the zone are so small that Kentucky can shoot over them on quick ball rotations. Kentucky shoots way too well to play a 2-3 zone against them.

Davis playing only 13 mins due to foul trouble.

Out rebound UK.

Uk under 40% from field and under 20% from 3.

LSU 70% from 3, over 45% from field.

LSU < 8 TO's.

LSU 16-20 from line.

Otherwise, no shot. UK too big at the guards. They get open looks all game due to our lack of backcourt size.

Have the wildcats eaten breakfast yet? If not, can some go sprinkle some powder laxative all over their buffet line.

You do realize this is the SEC tournament, and barring an actual murder, he will have no more than 3 fouls called this game.

- our guards have to pass the ball to a big guy somewhere in the paint or penetrate and kick the ball back out every trip down court (stringer, turner & hickey can't drive an expect to get a layup). passing the ball around the perimeter gets you nowhere. we have to get their defense moving. when we go inside out we can play with a lot of teams.

- block out every time. they will burn you worse than anybody if you don't. kentucky got a ton of rebounds the first game, because we just turned and watched the ball instead of blocking out. getting second chance shots was a huge part in their 2nd half run. us blocking out is a good way to get some of their guys in foul trouble, but you won't get over the back calls if you don't block out.

- we can't jack up quick 3s, especially if we don't have rebounders inside. stringer and turner are bad about this. we can't waste trips down court.
