LSU basketball is undefeated and WW sends in their best player second off the bench.

Received 66 downvotes after Georgia Tech game with this comment and I was commenting the SEC should be on notice with our teams best player subbing in and not even starting.

Now, with team struggling early to score and #4 not having his best shooting preformance of late, #13 needs to be in the starting lineup when we hit the SEC schedule.


Again, I'm not bitching, excited to have the Tigers kicking arse, I just think the team is better served having your best all round player playing maximum minutes.

Downvote away

Maybe you should take Will Wade’s place if you’re such an expert on minutes, because I’m sure he doesn’t have a reason for making that decision or anything. How many games do you think you would win a year if you were the head basketball coach at LSU?

Yes let’s please change everything because what we’re doing hasn’t worked at all. Let’s completely change the rhythm and dynamic that’s led to this great start. You nit picking cry babies are insufferable, it’s not an Xbox game dummy.

I agree with you because the 1st 2 to 3 minutes that Tari Eason is on the bench have cost us 10 games so far this year. Oh wait.

Will Wade disagrees and has the team at 10-0. I know this may come as a shock to you, but I trust his judgment more than yours.

lol, y'all some fricked up dudes, I'm on y'alls side... none of you honestly think #13 shouldn't be starting?

"oh it will mess up the teams rhythm"
"well we won 10 game Mr. you should be the coach"
"ya lets change everything"

If we continue to start #5 and #4 doesn't make shots we gonna dig ourselves an early hole we can't get out of.

Just saying what team or coach dosen't have their best player starting or playing maximum minutes.

Now will WW, keep it the same or will he use the "analytics" to elevate the team?

But it's great having a team that kicks arse.

Doesn’t matter if he starts or not, he plays starter minutes

Bro. It does not matter who starts. Like it doesn't matter at all. It's about minutes played. Tari is 5th in minutes played and that is great because he breaks the game open coming in fresh like 3 times a game. Relax

WW and Tari believes Tari gets better production coming off the bench and WW likes setting the defensive tone first with Mwani. It’s working and it allows Tari to be more aggressive on defense avoiding foul trouble.

I’m sure if the data changes WW will make changes that are better for the team and those changes may even accidentally meet your baseless desires and bring you happiness.

When we struggle to score early it does. He’s a difference maker, if the starting 5 struggles if #4 can’t hit his shot early & #5 is no threat to score.

This 10-0 has some nice wins, but they also include some no so great teams.

Bro we literally just covered a 35.5 spread. That is ridiculously hard to do against any team

We’re one of very few teams that is 9-1 against the spread, meaning that we’ve beat teams by a bigger margin than even Vegas expected

If you don’t have a scorer on the bench, you are subject to significant lulls in scoring once you sub out players. Eason gets the same minutes off the bench he would starting. Usually more than Wilkinson (#5). I think if Eason started he would start in place of days. Who is supposed to be the primary scorer of the starters, even though Eason usually subs out either Reid or Wilkinson in the games I’ve seen.

Well laugh if you want to, “analytics” is what brought this guy to LSU according to WW. Now he sits his best player at the beginning of games when we struggle early to score and ignore “analytics” . OK

Actually, no it's not.

The point spread exists based on what they think is going to happen. If no one was covering 30+ point spreads, you wouldn't have them.

Wilkerson s the best defender on the team imo. And he sets the edge for how the games defense will be played from the first seconds of the game.

i like having a scorer off the bench, right now I can possibly agree with days seeing some bench minutes until he starts to see the light but idk if that will mess with him worse.keep it like it is definitely with Wilkinson in and maybe try and move days around a bit
