Think about how far off a shot has to be to be banked (when you aren’t trying to bank it)

Maybe our incredibly embarrassing loss to them, isn’t quite so embarrassing after all?


The only part that was embarrassing was the effort. Losing to them was not that big of a deal. They’re good.

Yea I hadn’t heard anyone refer to that lost as embarrassing. They are a damn good team.

I only watched ETSU in the game against us but resume wise it looks like they could end up like Wofford last year and put up a 30 win season and ranked, which would lessen the blow.

They hit that and like 3 bank threes, LSU can't catch a break lol. That is 12 freaking points


That's why I was a little encouraged about the defense. Relying on banked in heaves late in the shot close isn't really a great offensive philosophy.

It will be interesting to see how LSU matches up with Bama. I wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor start the game to guard Petty. He has become LSU's "wing stopper" since Manning went out.

Would honestly have preferred to stay unranked. Team seems to play better when they feel disrespected. Rankings don't mean squat till end of February.

I think Will Wade has the antidote for this......

"I've tried to be real nice about getting this stuff corrected, but it ain't getting corrected, so I darn well know how to get it corrected, and that's to be a raving lunatic. And it'll work."

My man!

For those who have the mentality of "who cares if we blow big leads as long as we win", go watch Wade's press conf. today. He is PISSED about the blown leads. He said he's been nice about the issue and tried to work through it but he's sick of it and the players are going to have to start paying for it (extra running, consequences, etc). Basically said it's great that they are still winning despite blowing the leads, but it isn't sustainable if they want to compete at a high level. He was salty today. He responded to goofy Scott Rabalais' lead in to a question of: "I already know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask it anyway" with "Well, then why are you asking it?"

I think so too, but we'll rise pretty quickly now as long as we take care of business.

It was the way we lost that one. We looked terrible. I was about to give up on this team.

Coach said it was embarrassing at an event I went to a few days later, when we went to watch them play USC. He was frustrated.
