He's been ice cold shooting this year. I'm not sure why he's struggling so much, but he shot above 30% from 3 last year. I'm not sure he'll make 30 this year at all.

he doesnt have good form. cold streaks tend to happen to people who dont know to put arc on their shot.

No. I still like him on the perimeter, just not shooting. Drive to the hoop. He gets fouled almost every time he drives to the hoop. And he's shooting FTs at an 80% clip this year...

It wasn't even on TV so I guess that's why... I'm guessing you could rewatch it on ESPN3 but I'm not sure.

I think he is fine out to about 15 feet right now. Shouldn't take more than 1 shot from further out until he gets some consistency.

Arkansas's game wasnt on tv either (also on SECN+), yet you can watch their highlights on their website.

And yeah i could rewatch the entire game but i really dont want to.

Can't believe we already have 2 losses with this talent. Jones is a joke.

Shooting 80 % from the line....exactly why I think dropping him down low some is a good idea.

there really isnt a ton of talent.

Mickey is a good player.
Gray is a good player in stretches.
Hornsby is average.
TQ has his moments and i think he's improved over last year. But he's not a star.

They have no 3 point shooters, and Martin plays soft 70% of the time.

This board pumps up the talent on this team bigtime.

While not on the level of UK, Duke, Louisville, etc., this group has some very good talent. Certainly just as much (likely more) than everyone in the SEC not named UK or UF. They definitely have more talent than the likes of ODU, TTU and Clemson.

Thus far Jones has not been able to get his talented individuals to play well as a team. The schedule LSU has faced has not been daunting. Even if LSU isn't as talented as what some on this board pump them up to be, 2 losses against that schedule is concerning. Still, they have a chance starting tonight to get their season going/turned around

they have more talent than TT and probably Clemson. They're probably on par with ODU.

They're probably on par with the rest of the sec except UK, UF, and I would add Arkansas. But that isnt really saying anything.

Just because you shoot ft's well doesn't mean you should be put down low. He's good, if not great off the dribble. It's not that he's overly quick or aggressive, but he's so big it's hard for players to keep him out the paint. When he is on the block it takes away from that.


BTW, UMASS was in the PMAC for their shootaround a few minutes ago.

Also, do you think the student section will bring the heat and have anti-gay posters?

I hope not... Gordon has been one of their best players this year and there's no reason to bring that into it.

I know, there's no way they would. However, a hoodrat student section would do it and get rowdy. Our student section is....mellow to say the least. I'm getting rowdy tonight, though. I'm gonna burn that mother down

Dammit it better be packed. It's dead week and no one is studying. There should be at least 300 students there, which isn't even a lot
