The losses of Smith and Poole were huge. Team would have much better depth. Smith to rotate with the bigs and Poole could give some much needed minutes handling the ball. It is what it is... but it would have been fun to see.

Tigers playing well nonetheless.

Smith was becoming a great player and would have been huge for this team. She is a smart player, has a great jump shot, plays great D and gets those boards. And she shows up in big games too.

If she's still around, it must have been grades, right?

No, she started the season. If she wasn’t eligible she wouldn’t have been playing.

Unless it was fall semester grades that did her in? I don't know man, I'm just trying to make sense of it.

Yes
And when you get in tourney play and get a bad ref you don’t have players to overcome it

This one hurts for sure. We have better perimeter players than last year but losing Smith was definitely huge. She would be huge in the rotation this year to go along with Morrow Reese and Del Rosario.

Did anyone else notice someone who looked just like Kteri Poole in the stands. The cameras hit her for 2 seconds and she hid her face.

I asked this question to some people last night that I thought might know.

They said it marijuana and our piece of shite compliance office that struck. That's why it took so long to officially remover her. Kim fought it.

If that's the case and LSU is STILL the only SEC school drug testing for weed, we need to riot.

She was there. A friend of mine said a friend of hers took a picture with her and sent it to my friend.

It's amazing that still we have zero information on why she's not on the team and apparently can't come back.

Our bench (of two people) scored four and barely played until Angel fouled out


Yeah I would say we missed them.

It’s a shame, because these girls could win the national championship with a little more depth. They probably won’t win it this year due no depth, but if they all return next year, and if LSU gets another PG to help HVL, LSU will win it again next year.
