LSU shot 50% from 3 and Had Nearly Twice as Many FTs and Still Lost

Coach fricking sucks

He couldn’t figure out that elaborate full court man to man Mizzu went to. Our coach is garbage

Quality second half meltdown

We all saw it coming S, just being hopeful. It's where we are now.

I only watched pieces of the second half but what i watched, Hayes was the worst player out there. Ugh. Hopefully the next 4th string ACC transfer we landis better

Hayes actually seems like a decent player. I feel like the coaching staff has no plan for certain situations. It’s unbelievable.

This team lacks a quality PG. Hill and Hayes wouldn't see minutes on any decent team at PG.
Hayes was just bad tonight in every aspect. Fountain didn't play well either. There is a reason they were 7-8 type players at their previous schools.

KJ and Miller kept them in the game.

I turned it off midway first half.
My wife wanted to watch a movie and it wasn't worth going into the Den and turning on another TV.
I don't watch LSU Sports reruns unless I know we win.
This was just a rerun of almost every other LSU basketball game, this season.
I can remember a time. A time when we all got excited about the end of the season, looking forward to the tourney. Ahhh! Those were the days. Where did they go.
Woody stole them.

Absolutely, MM let a win slip through his hands because he wouldn't pull Hayes. Hayes played horribly in the last 5-6 minutes. Terrible passes for turnovers, half assed effort to receive a pass from Miller that was a little off the mark, shitty defense and an air ball on a highly contested 3 that he should have given up to KJ to take.

Keeping Cam Hates in when he proved he couldn’t handle the press is criminal.

I never think Juice Hill should play more, but if he does today we win.

I agree 100% and said the exact same thing to my buddy at the time. 9/10 nights Hill has probably not been the best option at PG this year. But last night he would have been given how the game was going. LSU didn't need him to score. They just needed someone other than Miller and Hayes to handle the ball as Missouri picked up the defensive pressure. On a rare night LSU was making shots, you didn't need Hill to generate his own offense. You just needed him to facilitate.

Despite everything that had happened to that point, it was still a tie game with under 2:00 to go. LSU then proceeded to run some flat out awful offensive sets late that resulted in bad shots.


It's not easy. But as a coach you HAVE to understand the flow of the game and which personnel might be best for that moment...even if that guy hasn't been great all year.
