re: Lets talk expectations for the lsu basketball program

Next 5 years, LSU should be a tournament team every year with the talent they bring in.

If you have a few first round exits, so be it.

What we can't have happen, is our defensive play continually be lazy and disinterested on our best day.

LSU could have very easily beaten a very good top 10 TTU team if they had simply hustled on the defensive boards.

That's all they had to do, but their lack of hustle cost them the game. Wade's inability to even address this issue is mind boggling and will cause this program to fall to top tier teams moving forward.

16 offensive rebounds for TTU says otherwise

LSU did get 10 steals yesterday. You don't get double digit steals against a team like Tech by sitting on your arse.

So they were hustling, but our guys (other than Days who got hurt) usually seem like they don't know how to box out, they mistime their jump and are not physical enough when trying to get a rebound. Also, Watford only got 4 rebounds, so it seems hard to believe that if he was doing all he could on that end that he would only grab 4 rebounds at his size.
