re: Pinson was 5-21 from the field

I'm not a fan of Wade in-game, but I actually like not calling a timeout in that situation. We had plenty of time to get the ball down the floor, and a timeout lets the defense set up.

Pinson got to the goal, just missed the shot.

Again, I'm no Wade fan (in-game) but I can't criticize him for not calling a timeout. We got a good look to win the game.

I'm not trying to criticize that decision, I understand each coach has their own philosophy when it comes to that, I don't really mind either way. I was just responding to that guy because he said no one ever calls a timeout in that situation when it happens all the time.

The team is clearly different when X is on the court. Had he made the last layup this board would be a bit different this morning. I liked not using a time out, and the drive and shot. X just did not execute a very high percentage shot.
Obviously his shooting % was bad last night, but he does so many more things that push this team to be better.

The Wade god has got to start recruiting pure shooters that have more mental discipline and situational awareness at the end of a game.

Even with biased and/or poor officiating, LSU still wins that game last night if properly coached players with granite hard mental discipline do what they're supposed to do at crunch time.

We don't have it because Omnipotent god Wade hasn't recruited it. Simple fact and end of story. Adam Miller (Who hasn't even played a game yet) gets injured and there's nobody else to make up for the loss. That's all on god Wade for poor roster management.

You can't really teach intelligence and mental discipline either; either you have it or you don't have it. That goes back to recruiting and the type of athlete you're bringing in. This is strictly low basketball IQ AAU-playground stuff we're seeing currently and it's frustrating to watch.

Betta than Trent and Johnny though, huh Pump Lump Wade god sycophants? (A Pump Lump is a Sunshine Pumping LSU version of an Alabama Gump)

Our guards were 0-12 last night from three.

Pinson 0/7
Murray 0/5
Gaines 0/1

Arkansas’ strategy seemed to be go let our guards fire away. They did, we kept missing and we lost.

You mean like the 5 star guy who blew out his knee before the season started?

Like Skyler or Javonte. One is good, two is better.

look, Adam Miller might be incredible. But last year at Illinois, he averaged:

8.3 points
25.5 minutes played
39.1% overall FG

34.0% 3-point FG (would be 92nd in the nation, and worse than Eason, Days, and Murray this year)

68.4% FT (would not even be in the top 350 this year)

So is Miller a great shooter?

I don’t know how many 3’s he shot. But 34 percent for a freshman averaging north of 8 points a game is pretty good. I think Smart was like a 29 percent 3 pt shooter his freshman year, and was up to like 45 percent his Junior year.

I don't think Pinson is back to 100% yet.

He doesn't look like he has any strength.
