I think TQ has some jealousy issues that is affecting his play. Ben makes a play and he comes down and shoots a crappy shot. Also I think Simmons is having trouble handling the pressure. He only tried to score when the game was out of reach. The last few games it looks like other players are getting under his skin.

JJ has lost them team. This was an intentional loss by the players reacting to Simmons being disciplined. There is no way that every player on the team is that bad on the same night. There is trouble in the locker room, and I would not put it past Alleva meddling. This was his year to make his hire look like a good idea. He has failed, JJ has failed, and the team has quit on both of them.

He signed the players. Everything is on him. You have a player not playing well? Put someone else in, oh that's right, you did such a shite job at recruiting you have one good player surrounded by a bunch of bad players.

JJ should be coaching middle school somewhere. He got the job b/c he is a good old boy with temple and his crew.


An LSU Athletics Coach who got the job because he knows someone? Surely you jest.

Yep, we've looked undisciplined and uninspired before plenty this year, but this game was different in scope and enourmity. It infected all but one player and with all that was on the line....this was just totally different.

To say when only one player looks like they give a shite out there all night and it has nothing to do with leadership....yeah, I can't buy that.

did you even think about these comments before posting? you think the players lost intentionally? just because they are mad about a player being disciplined. I find it hard to believe we have a team full of self entitled cry babies.

if what you are saying is true, which I highly doubt, LSU should forfeit the schollies of the whole fricking team and go out and sign some real men to play. this isn't girls softball.

There is the possibility that the players are just not good at basketball at the collegiate level. It's never one thing in these situations. It's a combination of things. They were overhyped pre-season and the expectations were based on no real quantitative data. They have never really gelled as a team and they lack serious fundamentals.

I agree with what was said in that article. Very damning indeed. If that doesn't build a big ole Bon fire under jones' butt I don't know what will.

You're a stupid-arse misogynist, aren't you?

Our "girls softball" team is a team of warriors, national championship contenders, fight like hell every game, leave it all on the field, and have a tough, demanding coach--one of the best motivators and strategists in the country.

Quite a contrast to men's basketball.

Damn, some ignorant shite gets posted on here.

I know, right? It's almost like someone on the selection committee has leaked out that the team really has basically no chance to make the NCAA tourney, or something. Like being told that your season has sucked and is dead, before it has even finished out.

We have no pt guard.
Quart doesn't possess the ball well and is a streaky shooter at best.

Simmons great but just a freshman who needs to improve jump shot and free throws.

Sounds like an AD who is contemplating making a coaching change at the top. Time's about right to consider that, I'd say.
