Defense needs shoring up.

Weird thread after a lackluster game

Last 2 games have been awful. Maybe it’s the lack of playing time but we’ve gotta play much better all around if we’re going to beat a Buzz Williams coached team.

Last game we won comfortably by 22, without Watford and most of our coaching staff. Team we beat played a closer game two days later against a top 10 team.

Your opinion on anything doesn't mean jack shite. If it's not tied to Orgeron, it's shite. If it's tied to O, it's greatness.

No shite. We have 8 players that can score....yeah the defense can improve but when has Wade’s defense ever been it’s best? We can score with anyone and change the game with our press d when needed. Three players combined for 66 points today....name some other LSU teams in recent years who had the players to score like that.

-No fire
-No inside presence
-Too much one-on-one offense
-Not very athletic
-Start Leblanc...take him off the point and put him down low! Play him starter minutes!
-Get Watford on the block offensively.
-Give Penn Johnson Shareef's minutes. He's a non-contributor and we need defensive presence/rebounding.
-Cut the rotation to 8-9.

Right now, I don't see this as a team that gets past second round. The talent is there but it's a long way from being ready for prime time.

Nothing says fired up like an ad hoc game against nichols st the day after Christmas in an empty PMAC.

Shocked the team wasn’t acting like it was a final
Four game

You destroy that Nichols team if you are legit. They should be able to roll out of bed at 5 a.m and beat that team by 20+. I listed all the reasons I think they didn't and this isn't a one-game judgement on my part. Not having Javonte obviously hurt but still..

Are you a Tiger fan?? Get your glass half full and get behind this damn team. They’ve got talent all over the floor. Period. They will do well.

It's almost like the season just started and the tourney is still 3 months away. Go figure.

They looked sloppy and terrible on defense vs Sam Houston. You guys can keep puffing out your chest over beating high school teams but if you think we’re going to win anything playing the way we have the last 2 games you don’t know anything about basketball. The SEC is down and we should win this conference going away but we’re gonna have to play a lot better if we’re going to accomplish what we should.

You do realize this team was off for two weeks, obviously had COVID concerns, missing one of their key contributors among other things. So yea they would be a bit rusty especially since you have new guys on the team and trying to find what roll they will play on this team. To get better you have to play. If you're cancelling games consistently it's kinda hard to gel. The team will get better. They just need to play more.

The score is not what people are complaining about and yes we’ve been off but that also gives us more practice time which should be more competitive than these weak teams. This isn’t a rust issue with shooting or lack of competition, it’s a organization issue. The team looks sloppy and disjointed and that shouldn’t be the case.

That’s been a problem every year.
Wade has preached tough defense since he arrived but we really struggle defending.
