When hoops started to fail
Posted by dpberger on 2/15/17 at 3:21 pm
3/4/2015: at home vs Tenn, and trying to play into or into a higher seed in NCAA's.
3/4/2015: TENN 63-78
3/7/2015 @ark 81-78 Hornsby at the buzzer
3/13/2015 Auburn 70-73(OT) as pathetic as any game this year or last
3/19/2015 NC State 65-66 More pathetic than ANY game this year or last
LSU hoops has not resembled a team since then.

This happened in last year's UGA game also. UGA threw in the towel with about 5 mins to go, and LSU jacked up wild 3's, let Ga back into the game, and had to scramble to gut out a win - which the other team already conceded. Geez...
But, the bigger problem is that LSU cannot defend, turns it over waaay too much, and cannot shoot FT's. Therefore, there's no way to close out a game. Especially in tournament play, when all that stuff is critical. And don't even get me started on lack of "moving without the ball" on offense.

Opinions are like... armpits. Mine is simply that current coach is not a "National-elite" level coach. Even before he coached a game at LSU, he wasn't one of the elite coaches in NCAA. Not sure that LSU could lure someone like that, but... Everyone has his price, and in my opinion, LSU could have dangled a more lucrative contract out there to get the program back on the right track.
Agree that no one knew JJ would be this much of a failure, but LSU made a questionable-at-best hire, and is going down with this sinking ship for at least two years too long.

Let's see...
Can't shoot FT's (shoot less than 69% all years under JJ)
Can't possess the ball (we're a turnover machine)
Can't play defense
Can't run a half court offense
The SEC is a second or third tier basketball league. Any mediocre team would easily take 2nd place every year.
Let's face it. LSU has placed no value on basketball. Current coach (or lack thereof) is proof. It's really a shame because the whole state would jump on the basketball bandwagon in about 2 seconds if there was a good product. Never gonna happen with this coach. And, YES, it starts with the administration and the coach.

Mickey/Quarterman - possibly the worst players not just on this lousy team, but any team ever???
How many times do we have to watch Quarterman and Mickey blow the game?
