You guys kill me on this post. Clearly don’t watch the game. All you say on here is Taylor can’t score when in reality he can. I doubt any of you ever actually ever played.

But the shot selections by this team is horrible and has been horrible all season. Showing that the staff didn’t want Taylor to be aggressive and had zero confidence in him doing so. MSU literally left Marlon open THE WHOLE GAME just like Kentucky. The difference Marlon had the first 7pts so Kentucky had to stop doing it. What we needed to exploit it by getting bodies moving and putting Marlon in positions to use his strengths like driving and ball movement to open shots.
It’s impossible to be ready to score when every possession your damn near wide open and you got players taking step back jumpers and you wide open. That’s all MSU did, knowing we would pack the paint on cassius. Izzo has faith in his other players showed LSU never had faith in Marlon until it had to. We was the worst rebounding team and defense team before Taylor and Bigby-Williams started getting major minutes. So in the biggest game of the year you let the play under 20 mins. They damn near never played together last night. Which is why we lost and if look back to majority of games we always start out strong with best starting 5 rarely get them back together. You will see Marlon Taylor on that next stage playing big and you gone wish you had him.

It’s really not a big if. You guys have no clue what your watching.

As long as Taylor plays more than 18mins we should be okay.
Every time they took him out Ark went on a run. Surprise no one has noticed this. Without him or Bigby, we are just horrible at rebounding and defense. As showed in our first 3 losses and again Saturday.

LSU starting lineups for this game will be :
PG- Tremont Waters
SG - Skylar Mays
SF - Marlon Taylor
PF- Naz Reid
C - KWB

Alabama starting lineups :
PG - Kira Lewis
SG - Dazon Ingram
SF - Tevin Mack
PF - Herb Jones
C - Donta Hall.

Can we just move the damn ball!!!

That he did. But OT was horrible. Kinda don’t like the 3 guards. I think it stops Waters from getting it going early and finding a groove.

Most times we have no clue who the pg is and every time one of them gets it. It’s like the set starts all over again everyone has to get set. Then time is out. I say we go 2 guards put Taylor in sure up our rebounding. And get some movement with on offense and let Naz post up for once. Even days at 3 sometimes.

I know we only seen 1 game. But can definitely see Chase getting a lot more time. Good feel out there and smooth route runner with possession and deep threat qualities. Whereas Giles may just be a deep threat. Overall good game by this group

Yeah something minor though. He’ll be fine for the season.

Starters
PG - Waters
SG - Smart
SF - Taylor
PF- Reid
C - Bigby-Williams

2nd Unit

PG - Smart/ Waters/ Danya
SG- Mays / Edwards
SF - Edwards / Rachal
PF- Days / Williams
C -Williams/ Reid

I expect this to be something of the rotation. As each line up is very flexible and balance to some sort. Smart is the X factor at his size and ball handling defending which will be key. He could potentially be in all lineups as 1, 2 or 3. As I’ve seen in previous post all about defending.

100% agree I think the kid got some grit to him and is going to defend.

If WE defend WE WIN!
