re: PREVIEW: LSU vs Michigan State March 29th 6:09pm CBS

Interesting break down of the game. Lack of research shows some glaring errors and omissions. I guess you can be overconfident when you make-up a story line.

“and finally they lost reserve big man Kyle Aherns”

Actually he’s a shooting guard or small forward.

“You may have noticed that they play almost all forwards except Winston and MacQuaid”

So apparently Henry & Brown are forwards solely and their games are just like Tillman’s & Ward’s, amirite?

“They don't have long players”

So depending on where you look, MSU is a top 5 team in blocks, but doesn’t have any length. It’s amazing that stubby armed guys like Goins, Tillman, & Ward can block so many shots & get as many rebounds as they do. When I see Henry & Brown I think “T-Rex” as well.

“Michigan State do a terrible terrible job at creating turnovers.”

I guess some people believe every team tries to create turnovers, I wonder how surprised they’d be to learn some teams don’t try to create turnovers. Also, the constant attack on the English language by this person is terrifying.

“Winston, McQuaid, and Goins are the only players who can or will shoot from the outside.”

I just looked, Aaron Henry is shooting 37.5% from 3 & has made six 3 pt shots in the last eight games. For comparison, Winston has made eight over the last eight games. LSU’s most accurate 3 pt shooter is hitting 37.9% of his 3pt shots...

“I think LSU is deeper and 1-8 much more talented.” “If you had to list the top 10 most talented players, I think LSU has 6 maybe 7 to Michigan State's 3-4.”

Ok, I’ll give you LSU is deeper, but LSU only plays 8 guys. I really had to pause while reading the second comment, just to soak it in. I don’t know who he thinks the top 3-4 MSU players are, but he’s really loving his Bayou Bengals to say 6 or 7 of the 10 best players will be LSU Tigers.

That was one of the worst game previews I’ve ever read. Inaccurate, homerific, & linguistically lazy

Dandy's comparison chart






– LSU’s overwhelming best statistic in comparison to Michigan State is steals. The Tigers manage nearly double the amount of steals as the Spartans do with their pressure on the ball, and Michigan State commits 13 turnovers per game just like the Tigers. So if LSU can take advantage of steals and get some fast-break buckets, this could be the Tigers’ best chance of upsetting Michigan State.

Frick the Shartin' Spartans.

Practice time.

This is great. I’m here, my man.

I guess I’m making up your loss to Illinois and your 2 losses to Indiana?

First, Aherns is by no means a SG. If you know so much about Spartans, then you can see the guy is not a SG. I watched the Michigan game when he got hurt. He was playing SF when he got hurt. I’m honestly not sure the guy played SG once the entire season.

Aaron Henry is a SF who slashes and can hit an occasional 3. LSU has played teams all year that bombard us from deep. In the SEC, teams get out and run and launch 3’s. Henry averages .9 3-point attempts per game. He has NEVER shot more than 2 3-point attempts in a game. He averages 21 mins a game so it’s not like he doesn’t play. Don’t come in here acting like Aaron Henry is some knockdown shooting who just isn’t getting a chance. I would say it’s a credit to the young man that he plays within himself and knows his strengths.

Brown is basically the same way.

About LSU’s shooting...MSU and LSU play differently. We shoot tons of contested 3’s because one of our best offenses is an offensive rebound. We have quality shooters when they are left open. You are in for a LONG day if you’re looking at stats like that to judge LSU. Tremont Waters on paper can’t shoot for shite, but you’re gonna learn tomorrow.

My English language? I actually have pretty proper grammar along with words. Saying “amirite” is no more an attack on the English language than saying “terrible terrible”...and yea, you’re one of the worst teams in the country at turning your opponent over? What’s wrong? You can’t handle the truth? I even said that’s not how your team plays D

And sorry, but Naz Reid, Skylar Mays, Tre Waters, Javonte Smart, and KBW are all 100% top 10 in the game, and I would argue that 5-star Emmitt Williams is top 10.

Not sure this guy knows this, but Josh Langford isn’t walking through the door on Friday. LSU has more talented players. People who do this for a living acknowledge this. However, MSU is deploying one of the greatest CBB coaches ever and MSU is more well coached and not as erratic.

I needed this, now I’m getting hyped

Thanks for all you do LSUButt! Ready for tomorrow!

(no message)

Purdue is absolutely dicking UT and their fanbase.

So: 2) McQuaid; 3) Ward; 4) Goins; 5) Tillman?

(Can we all agree the game won’t suck like the UM-TTU & UVA-Oregon games. My eyes, they burn.)
