re: MBB 11/24/25: UNO Shocking Mississippi State 66-58, 2 minutes remaining

We also held them to 68 points. LSU can play defense when they are committed to it. They haven’t been last 2 games. Needs to be more consistent. Both UNO and UCF will turn out to have been good tests for this team based on how they have played so far.
UCF also beat Texas A&M by 11 points. There are a lot of good signs about this year's LSU team.

We looked much worse last year. We played 2 cupcakes in the first 3 games, and 2 of them were leading at halftime. Then of the first 6 teams we played, at least 4 were cupcakes, yet 3 of them 4 led at halftime: Al State, Charleston So., and NW State. We only dominated La Monroe from start to finish. We have dominated all 3 teams this year, and I think all 3 were slightly better than the first 3 cupcake teams we played last year.
It is early, but this team looks far better. It will probably still struggle to get out of the bottom of the SEC, but I think this team is the best of the McMahon era.

Sutton and DJ may be the best players that Coach M has had at LSU. Our front court looks strong with Reed, Miller, Nwoko and Tamba. They are doing a good job on the boards and protecting the paint. The question is going to be guard play outside of DJ. Reece seems like he will be good, and even though he seems better than Givens did, I don't think he's ready for huge minutes. Max looked poor today, but while I think he's better than he looked today, will that be good enough. I need to see more of Carter and King. Zipper and Mosley are buried on the depth chart, so I assume they aren't going to help. It'll probably have to be Max and Reece, and either Carter or King.
One of the biggest surprises so far is the defense. They are switching and helping a lot and doing it well.

Next game is on Monday night vs a solid UNO team (didn't they beat TCU)?
Yes UNO beat TCU at TCU by 4. Either UNO is pretty good this year, or TCU is way overrated by the ESPN power rankings which currently has them ranked 94th.
SMU beat Tarleton by 20 points, but Tarleton kept it close most of the game.

I think it was a TD, but I don’t understand the rule. I know there was a view from the back of the end zone where you can see he lost control of the ball and it hit the ground.
They lost 3 home games last year. They got crushed in their home opener by Georgia, then later lost to Louisville and South Carolina.

She actually can play!! I think she actually contributes this year. For those that want to see more highlights of her
I like that she keeps and releases her ball high. Too often I see women bringing the ball down and not releasing it at high points, which makes it easier to defend. Most of her interior shots look like pseudo hook shots, but if she's good at that, then that's a tough shot to defend. MaxPrep shows that she shot 62% from the field, so she must be fairly good at that hook shot. She'll be able to shoot over much taller players with that shot. She also has nice form on her jump shots. MaxPrep shows that she only took 1 3-pointer, and missed, but the highlights seem to show her taking and making several. Maybe she was inside or stepping on the line, but it looks like she is capable.

Oh the dude who eventually saw a mins drop at miss state lol? Got down to like 10 mins a game . Also not to mention got out rebounded when he did start vs Mcneess state lol.
Nwoko only had less than 11 minutes in 1 game all season, and he was in foul trouble. He had a poor game against McNeese based on the GmSc, but he averaged 12 TRB/40 minutes.

You guys may be getting JJ Andrews. Apparently he really likes the staff there and would have larger role.
That would be awesome, but we need JJ Andrews next season!
quote:
I believe the staff wanted to just add one more body to the forward room with Reed, Miller and Sutton. Brune touched on that a little yesterday. Just a depth move
I think Tamba wll be a backup, but he started all 32 games at UC Davis last year, and 27.6 mpg. He was also their 2nd leading scorer, but I think he's better at defense, which we need. He looks fairly athletic, so I think it's a solid addition. I wonder if he expects to get starting minutes?
quote:
Mike Williams is the only player who didn't improve at 3, but he was off most of the year. I wonder if he would give us a call as he hasn't found a landing spot and a good number of minutes just opened up.
I like Williams better than Givens. I never understood why he didn’t get more minutes.

We don’t have depth in the front court either. I thought it was weird to that rothstein didn’t have miller on our bench for the rothstein 45 but it didn’t have
Rothstein45
That Rothstein site is cool, but that was a big oversight on their part to leave R. Miller off altogether, because he wasn't even listed as a loss nor on the team, and I think there is a fairly good chance that R. Miller will even start over Nwoko at center, but if not, I'll be shocked if he doesn't beat Gilhool.

Also, something interesting to keep an eye on is players in the portal who technically have no remaining eligibility. The reason they are entering the portal is uncertainty that the current eligibility framework (5 years to play 4) may be enjoined by the House settlement or the courts. That would create even more chaos for every team. Specific to LSU, it could mean they could "re-sign" a guy like Cam Carter.
A decision could be coming by 5PM Eastern today:

It is about football, but it should apply to basketball too.

Yep I’d say Thomas and Reed are for sures. I think Rob miller and Sutton will battle for the four spot this offseason. Glen west reported that we’re still in a good spot after all the additions and that we should be competing for one to two more difference makers so I think we’ll be in the market for another power 5 starter or two.
Besides Thomas, which are impactful? Also, what order would you place our transfers from most to least impactful?

Looks like he’s staying put at ISU.
"Block out the noise" could mean anything. He could still be leaving, but he doesn't want to listen to all of the noise.

Jaron Pierre Jr seems to almost be a lock to UK. Would have loved him here. Not sure who our last pieces will be but seems like they may be role types
Jaron is still not committed. He's from New Orleans, and he's ranked the 35th best transfer on 247. He has good size for a SG, and moves well. I think he would be a good addition. He declared for the NBA. I saw that Kentucky has contacted him, but what have you seen that says he is a lock for UK?

We need defenders, but maybe CMM thinks that is easier to teach. We just lost our best defender.
