Turnovers were the difference

And Cook was not the answer last night. Was disappointed in his performance. Need him to play at a higher level against that kind of competition. Even Hannibal had too many turnovers as well as he played in the second half. But as a team they played at a high level to come back from a 28 point deficit and they outrebounded Auburn on the road. This team plays hard for their coach and they are lightyears better than last year. Auburn is primed to make a deep run this year and our guys gave 100% on the road. Could have easily been a 30-40 point loss. They deserve the support of the LSU fanbase and we need to pack the PMAC for Ole Miss.

No, talent, depth, coaching, atmosphere, and turnovers were the difference

Great Job in reading Matt McMahon’s press conference summary!

It’s been the difference all season. LSU is one of the worst in the nation in TOs. When they limit the TOs they can compete on most nights. When they don’t they get blown out.

It was a 4 point game with about 6:00 to go in the first half, then we turned it over on 3 straight possessions and Auburn just surged from there.
The point guards were tentative at the point of attack, and I saw at least 4 soft lobs to the center past the top of the key get stolen by Auburn.
Cook and Hannibal should have gone downhill to the rim and challenged more, but Auburns guards were too quick and they couldn't get there.
So, talent advantage Auburn there. And, coaching should have come up with another plan earlier in the game when that set wasn't working.

notice that Pearl did not call a T. O during the come back, like most coaches would have. He decided to let LSU where themselves out and then put in his well rested line up back in. Pearl uses that strategy frequently. No other team can play 2+ full line ups

Talent and depth were a part of it but we out rebounded them and cut a 28 point deficit to 8 late in the game. That’s called competing and that’s all your could ask of any team playing at Auburn right now. 2 losses in 3 years.
