Based on performance Fudge should be second off the bench behind Gaines and Eason should start at 4 but I'm also tempted to have have Days be first off the bench (I'm prepared for the downvotes) and Pins at the 2. I know he's earned to start but he was killer off the bench. I think he needs time to see what they are giving and he does it better when he steps back. I'd have to look at the numbers but it feels like he's better when he's been resting/leaving the other teams weaknesses.

I would not take Days out, but I would substitute quicker before the other team can build a lead. Either Eason starts or comes in very soon. Makes no sense to have your best player on the bench.

I know Wade doesn’t want change something that ain’t broke, he said so. But something we can’t overlook is Eason happy coming off the bench? He seems cool with it but when you dominate most of the stats you wanna make damn sure he’s good with it every game.

Eason seems unselfish, and it ain’t broke but it will get broke in the tough SEC, LSU must start off faster in the first half.

Wade waited too long to put Eason in. It’s confusing as to why. LSU loses this game without Eason.


He was waiting for the under 16:00 TV timeout…that didn’t come until around 12:00 minutes. He probably should have called a TO earlier to get the subs in, but he didn’t think the game would go some 5 minutes without a dead ball. That’s unusual

It’s mind numbing to see LSU’s best player still on the bench at the 12:00 minute mark.

Nobody said anything about sitting Days. Sit Wilkinson and bring him in IF you need a defensive spark. He’s an occasional scorer but plays some stellar D. Eason is an offensive machine. Pretty decent on defense too. These early droughts are gonna bite us in the arse come SEC time.

LSU has struggled mightily in the first half against unranked teams. And has thoroughly dominated much of the second half. Need to get this fixed soon!
