I'm glad I wasn't the only one that saw Flau was locked in then... Would've fed her the ball continuously in various ways. All her shots started falling.

Pull Gilbert. Terrible shot choices

She had several wide-open shots, but she can’t hit the side of a barn so she should’ve quit taking them.

This is insane. Flau was hot the entire second half and yet Gilbert took more shots than her.... Kim should've benched Gilbert. Wasted a shot to the final four.

is Gilbert a one and done here?

It wasn't a difficult call either. UCLA player kicked it 8-9 ' inside the line.

They had momentum late in the game but Gilbert forced shots and wouldn't give the ball up. LSU has struggled ALL SEASON with not understanding their big 3 should be the scorers in crunch time....unless someone else is having a "game" with the hot hand.

Yeah, Vegas is almost always right. Anyway, LSU needs a couple of key players to keep this going. Good season, but not enough. Carry on kids.

UCLA is gonna get throttled next round. They literally lived off of the refs and that can only happen so long. I hate ref-blaming but it was obvious.

The multiple charges called on LSU taking points off the board was all I needed to see. The broadcast crew even featured one of them as a bad call. Should have been 3 point plays. Not to mention the ridiculous fouls on the LSU players while losing points.

our big 3 largely played like shite turning the ball over continuously and missing a ton of open shots.

Williams 4-13
Morrow 7-19

And Flaujae didn't turn it on until way too late to see overcome how poorly the big 3 played for the majority of the game. We needed 2/3 of them to play better in the 2nd half, and only FJ did.

She should be back. I don't see any reason to go pro when it comes to women unless you just hate college. She already has endorsements and has stated she loves college. She's a rockstar here. Why leave? She once said she loves college so much she wish she could have as many years as they would allow her. The only thing that concerns me is her mom who is also her manager said not so fast.

Hopefully her dating an LSU football player also helps to keep her in college.

That’s absolutely what they did.

The television contracts are coming up and the NCAA needs the massive, Los Angeles / Southern California market tuned in for as long as possible.

Gilbert jacked off the game for LSU. FJ was hot to end the game & Gilbert forced shots over and over. Hell, look at the end of the 3rd when MW called for the ball & Gilbert ignored her and forced a bad play.
