re: Will Wade: "We played extremely hard."

Don’t feed the trolls guys.
The Arky game was one of our best all around on the year. honestly we still simply struggle to finish at the rim, which Wade’s teams have historically been good at, as well as a few boneheaded fouls per game.

That's just not true. They played their asses off wed night. They haven't always been doing that. You say never give up? There were a few games where they played like they just didn't want to be there. If they gave the effort they gave wed night, every game, they wouldn't be 8-9.

They gave great effort. Where has that effort been on several games? Do we overlook those games?
Btw, Ed O won a championship, counted his money, and quit on LSU. I have zero respect for his actions after the championship. But, he did in fact build a championship and is responsible for building that team, like it or not.

Don't watch much college basketball do you?
Getting teams to play hard is not a given in college basketball. This team's effort has not been the major problem most of the year, with a couple of notable exceptions, at Tennessee, Ole Miss, at Vandy. Even in games where we did not play well, effort was there.
...Don't know I'm wasting my time conversing with you. When it comes to college basketball you're the equivalent of the village idiot.

Yep. Against Kentucky you had fans on here praising the team for "never giving up" after LSU made a late run to cut the lead to 4. That's great! They played the first 37 minutes like they barely gave a shite. Against, Arkansas they played maybe with as much sustained effort as they have all season. You don't dominate another good team on the glass without desire. Guys were diving on the floor, fighting for loose balls, defending hard, etc.
I don't care if you are Gonzaga or Grambling. Every team is going to have games where the group energy level isn't as high as others. I'm not talking about 2 or 3 guys playing extremely hard. I'm talking about every guy that steps on the court playing with the same desire and intensity.
The loss to Arkansas was a gut punch because Wade is right, they DID NOT do the things they've struggled with all season. They didn't turn the ball over. They made FTs. They significantly limited Arkansas's leading scorer. Give Arkansas credit. They fought to and hit some big shots when they absolutely had to have them. But Wade is 100% right. As a coach you always ask your guys to give you max effort. Wednesday night LSU did.

So you think "scrappy" is better than tough, disciplined basketball. Okay. Next time we play please ask your husband to explain the game to you.
Played the game 15 years including at this level. This team has some talent, but is by no means in the top part of the SEC in talent.
We do not have the same talent as Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, and Arkansas. How do you overcome that, play harder than they play and be disciplined.
We absolutely played harder than Arkansas. We were more disciplined in some areas, but not others. We were really good at limiting turnovers, and we had one particular player that committed two ill advised fouls.
I've forgotten more about college basketball then you will know.

Until we learn how to shoot foul shots we ain't winning anything!!!

Without Miller, this team has 5 or 6 best talent in the league. Starting the season we did not have one player that would be drafted. Tari has developed and become that guy. As we sit here in March, Tari is the only player playing for us that will hear his name during an NBA draft.
Reid may get there just because of his size, but he isn't there now.

Did you watch the game Wednesday?
We were 18-19 from the FT line.
How about last Saturday, we were 19-23.
In the last two games we are 37-42 from the line for 88%.
Have we struggled at times, sure. That seems to be one issue that has been fixed.

WW is so much like Ed O that it's ridiculous and y'all can't see it. Wade runs from fire to fire putting them out, while new fires start. Just like Ed O. Without better bench assistants, he's just a great recruiter. He's got another year or two to show what he can do. I still think he can do it but he seems to be at an impasse.
This might be one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve seen on this board. Wow, just wow.

Well, two weeks ago free throws and rebounding were the problem. Last two games those issues have been remedied.
I love Wade but we have made terrible decisions all year with no improvement so based on your statement that we have improved in areas we have worked on we must not be working on bad decision making. And about the rebounding...it helps when you shoot terrible, and your terrible shooting pg takes 21 shots and misses 16...maybe we should work on shooting

if so you definitely wouldn't be making this comment....most of our team has 2-3 ill advised fouls a game

There are some idiots in this thread, like always
LSU can easily make the sweet 16. I’d assume most people here don’t watch college basketball, but newsflash…every team, EVERY team, has flaws. You catch them on an off night or not hitting shots, anybody can win.
It’s almost like you people don’t even watch the tourney and don’t see the dozens of upsets every year

He took a team that lost 3 guys to the NBA and 90% of its offense. Also a team that was at the bottom of the league in defense. He remade that team in one offseason and it is one of the best defenses in the country and we are going to make the tournament with a higher seed than the team than last year.
If you don't understand what kind of coaching in the offseason it takes to make that improvement, not sure what to tell you.
No, shooting terrible does not automatically mean you are going to get more offensive rebounds. Look at it proportionately, we rebounded nearly half of our missed shots. Why does that matter? because you combine the offensive board with shooting 90% from the FT line and his team was able to put 76 points up on the road against one of the best defenses in the country and come within one play (a missed shot at the rim) from beating a top 15 team on the road.
But you're right, we just haven't improved.

holy frick you are an idiot when it comes to basketball and probably in real life. When your pg, not a rebounder, misses 16 shots it definitely increases your chances of collecting offensive rebounds.

I would guess that you could take the games you have watched in college basketball, multiply by 3 (being kind) and that would get you to my college basketball watching experience. It's funny how you guys just look past several games where the team gave little effort in the second half. It tells me that you aren't capable of being objective. You make excuses.
