to an 0-8 team.

There’s bad games, and then there’s.. THAT.

Vandy played phenomenal basketball. We scored 90 points playing mediocre by our standards. I have confidence in this team. Better to lose to a conference team not in the race for the #1 spot.

We shot 78% from the FT line. Even if we shot 100% we come up one point short. Free throws did not cost us the game.

Lack of defensive intensity, failure to guard one on one, and four bad possessions after taking a lead. Those costs us the game.

It’s because we’re only a 31% 3-pt shooting team...if only we were a 36% 3-pt shooting team we would have scored 93 pts

I didnt watch the game but if those dumbasses gave up 99 points they deserve to lose.

The four bad possessions were huge. Vandy had gone cold. Could have built a 10 point lead. Stupid turnovers and stupid shots.

Vandy's recipe for successs was simple: shoot and make a lot of 3's and layups! Embarassing defensive display by an LSU basketball team I have seen in a long time. At least take a charge every now and again. WTF?

We have a relatively short front line and a short bench. We have no rim protector. So the roster makes winning on the road in conference games more difficult.

Against Vandy, who was shooting 25% from three, we had a game plan to sag off shooters. Obviously did not work. What beat us was allowing the dribble drive to the goal in the second half. Vandy had a 6’10” and 6’9” guy underneath. That is a challenge for LSU.

Early in the year we lost our poise down the stretch and lost. LSU came back and went ahead 84 to 80 with 6:26 to go. We got out scored 19 to 6. Yeah bad defense.. but a very winnable game if the offense would have been patient and made some shots.

Whatever LSU is going to win a lot of games.. But this is probably a Sweet Sixteen team at best. Still very good
