Agreed. Odo is horrible. Malone can maybe be a role guy. Robinson has the gift of size, wonder about heart and brains

They've all been pretty bad, but they won't get better on the bench. I was hoping Bridgewater could provide some minutes at the 4, but it seems like we can't get a board w/ him in there. He's pretty solid offensively when he gets the opportunity, but we definitely needs some help off the bench. Those guys can' be averaging 35 or so into February and expect to be ready for March.

We seem to get beat on the offensive glass VERY often. Which is strange of a team who is the majority of the time taller and more athletic than the team we are facing. I'm not sure if it's effort or scheme thing, but it's befuddling how teams are outrebounding us sometimes like 17 to 7 on the offensive glass.

"We are soft, but you picked a poor example."





This is the truth. Our bigs are finesse type players.

I agree with much of what has been said in this thread, but I think the lack of front court depth cannot be overstated. It's tough to play physical when any foul trouble by the two bigs screws us big time

I think we played a pretty physical first half but we gave up too many offensive rebounds in the second half.

IMO both of the JM's need to build upper body strength before going to the NBA and hopefully it'll happen before they leave LSU. We still see them losing the tug-of-war for rebounded balls far too often. Still, I agree that overall the defense was pretty solid last night. Just keep improving and they'll be fine come March.

They need to quit turning the ball over.

Any fast break team is going to have a good bit of turnovers.
