LSU absolutely gave away the last two games of the season. I didn't think I could be more disappointed after the Auburn game. At least in this game, there was a lot to like before the last 10 minutes. Awful feeling. This has been a tough year as a fan.

The reason we went 0fer in the last how ever many minutes of the game is because our coach can't run an offense to save his his life. Keep blaming this on the players but Johnny can't coach and well never be a serious contender as long as he's the coach

Posted by Scoob this wasn't on JJ. Make FTs down the stretch and we advance comfortably.

When your free throw percentage stays terrible all year, that's on the coach.
When you consistently play inconsistent, that's on the coach.
This team has ran off of pure talent all year.

Jones wasn't a very good free throw shooter himself. We called him Bullet.

I agree with you but be careful calling "our players low IQ" is a horrible insult just like calling a coach garbage ... bla

That's great Mike. Now if you can just swallow a cyanide pill we'd be all set!

Poor shooting at the end of games shows how bad the bench was utilized. JJ ran those guys in the ground all year. And it showed toward the end of the season and end of games.

Of course it's his fault. You coach your team out of that mentality in that situation.

Ha! That's easier said than done. You can't blame this lost on the coach. The team didn't execute when it matter, plain and simple. Not the coaches fault.

Exactly. Kenny Smith even commented about it at halftime. He said the team plays at 1 or 10
They don't have a steady middle ground.

You don't blame kids. It falls on the coach period. You don't get it to your best player the last 5 or 6 minutes of the game that is a coaching problem. You are inconsistent and can't win against the worst team in the sec twice.....that is a coaching problem. LSU is not a basketball school. See you in the tourney in another six years.
