LSU vs MISS ST

I’m seeing
Williams
Wright
Ward
Fountain
Baker
Hannibal
Reed
Dean
Either attack off the dribble immediately or go to baker to bring in defense. All three off the bench can quickly be apart of a sub. Ward, Williams, wright, Reed, baker, fountain can drive the lane or hit a trey. Hannibal is happy to attack the rim every possession.
I think LSU attacks the lane all day, state goes cold from outside, tigers win. Then plan for the Goliath tenn.

So, you want us to bench our starting point guard? That is your strategy?

Attempt to not skip a beat with substitution. Still think he gets 30 min a game, but you’re talking about benching, never said that.

I think it'll be hard for LSU to score 75+ on MSU so the key is defense and rebounding. Do what we didn't do last time and that's COVER HUBBARD

It won't matter, unless LSU can stop Chubba Hubbard and all State's tall thick sharpshooters.
State has lost four in a row, but who beat 'em? Kentucky, @Auburn, @A&M, USC. The Elite Fleet. Moo State is licking its chops today matched vs a beatable team.

Took LSU +175

I don't understand why you would want to bench Hannibal but ok.

I thought McMahon did a really poor job in the first game. MSU is a great defensive team. So you knew it was going to be a struggle to score. Particularly when your best catch-and-shoot player, Ward, left the game with injury. But MSU had not (to that point) been a particularly good offensive team. Hubbard was having a great night, but McMahon never made any adjustments to try to make MSU uncomfortable. I would have liked to see him extend the defense a bit to try to speed up the game. MSU was playing at their pace in the halfcourt. LSU could have maybe had a bit more success offensively if they played at a faster pace, got some points in transition, and kept MSU from consistently being able to set their halfcourt defense.
Ultimately, MSU would have still likely won the game because they hit an uncharacteristically high 10 three pointers and LSU, usually a solid three point shooting team, couldn't throw it into the ocean. But you still would have like to see McMahon try a few things rather than just accept dying a slow death.
Moving forward, it seems unlikely MSU will shoot as well from 3 as they did that night and LSU will shoot as poorly. And that might just be the story of the game because LSU and MSU were pretty much even in every other category when they played a few weeks ago.

is this a no win situation for LSU
obviously LSU wants to win a SEC tourney game but you may be knocking yourself out of NIT bid by knocking MSU out of NCAA tourney unless you pass Ole Miss in the pecking order which is going to be close

Just win and see what happens. The first game against them is what my mind keeps going back to. It was not close that game. We have improved and seems like we have a formula to win. I see it as a toss up with a little lean towards miss state.

Thought this was a baseball preview thread 
Posted on 3/14/24 at 10:17 am to Tvilletiger
last game was close at half and MSU pulled away in second half
the rest should help lsu and a whole game of Ward could keep it close

I don't think a win by LSU knocks MSU out of the Tournament. If MSU is "in" the tournament, they are already in today and the results of this game won't change that. The only thing that would is if MSU was right on the cut line and a few teams that weren't getting in as at large teams surprisingly win their conference tournaments.
From LSU's perspective, reaching the NCAA Tournament is always the goal. While it is a very long shot, they still have an opportunity to do so by winning the SEC Tournament. So that is the focus...not hoping to backdoor into the consolation postseason tournament.
Fight like hell to try to get the win today. And if you do, do it again tomorrow!

The NIT can select more than two teams from a conference, but each major conference is guaranteed two places for the highest ranked non NCAA tournament teams.

While LSU has played well against most of the teams in the confernce, Miss St is not one of them. Bad matchup for LSU. As is Bama. Like to see them win, but this one goes to the Bulldogs. Plus MSU is fighting for their Tourney lives
