Thanks for trying to keep it real. I will say that I could not watch the game but will do so and try to understand this loss better. What I did do though is try to dissect the box score to see exactly what happened. It'd be fair to say that overall, 'Bama deserved to win this game b/c they just did the things they did, a little better than we did. We lost by 5, with maybe four of that five at the free throw line. We shoot 42.4% to Bama's 43.9%. We're even on rebounds. We actually have a better assist to turnover ratio then they did (15-12 vs. 11-12). We hit the same number of 3 pointers (7), although they have a better % on them (38.9% for us vs. 46.7% for them). So, what does this game come down to? For one, they shoot more free throws (10 for 13)--they're at home--and we shoot 5 for 6.

I'll also say if you look at some of your points, I'm not quite sure it's 100% right. You say D.Mitch didn't get enough looks with the box-n-1 on him, but he obviously got looks, he shot 13 shots, but didn't convert on them like in past games (3 of 10 from 3 land). Perhaps having Felix on him affected his shots, and I suppose this is just something where Gottfried's defense experiment worked to get D.Mitch out of sync. To the contrary, it seemed as though the other outside shooters didn't play too bad, GTemple hit 2 of 4 3s and Tasmin hit 2 of 3 3s, with 6 of 9 overall. So, our other perimeter guys didn't NOT shoot the ball well, you could probably argue that the Tigers didn't work the ball into the right hands well enough, but again we had more assists than 'Bama had.

So, besides the fact that Bama got to go to the free throw more often (and I'd argue that Davis probably didn't get as many calls as he should have... but I agree with you that he didn't shoot well from the field and so didn't have his best game), what else can you say won the game for them:

POINTS OFF TURNOVERS
LSU - 10
University of Alabama - 18

POINTS IN PAINT
LSU - 22
University of Alabama - 29

2ND CHANCE POINTS
LSU - 8
University of Alabama - 14

FAST BREAK POINTS
LSU - 4
University of Alabama - 7

BENCH POINTS
LSU - 4
University of Alabama - 22

What this tells you is that 'Bama DID perhaps "want it more" because the 2nd chance statistics is just a hustle stat. That's one we usually win. They beat us at our own game... they beat us in the paint. I also think that one stat that shows our potential weakness at the guard spots... we tend to lose the points off turnover and fast break points stats. This means that opposing teams "convert" the TOs better against us then we do against them. When we cough up the balls, we then don't play as good d in transition, this may mean that Bama got easier transition baskets. Not by a lot, but enough to gain an advantage. Part of this is, when you have longer athletic, quick guards like Bama, you have an advantage against D.Mitch, GTemple and Tas (this changes in a big way next year with Mason and Martin added to our line up). I think ALSO (and I've made this point before), it's huge when you can go the bench and bring in fire power. We gave up 18 points to Bama's bench, and that's an issue. Overall, they only played 8 deep like us, but they're spreading the minutes a little bit more to the bench guys.

Overall though, we play a very tight game, against a team that most folks predicted would be as good or better than LSU in the west. There were probably some mental and coaching breakdowns, but heck, that's in every game--you probably sum this game up to they get to play us on their home court and played us very hard. I trust the staff to go back and watch the tape and get the team better.

LSUGolfer probably needs to rewatch the last time we played 'Bama and beat them by 11. I suppose, Brady just was lucky in that game and didn't outcoach Gottfried...:hihi: I can't remember if he posted after that game or not...:geauxtige

HAHAHA....I posted this because we got OUTCOACHED. O WOW we beat bama by 11. Is that a close game NO. We lose ALL close games because BRADY cant coach CLOSE games. TY for making my point for me. HAHAHAHA

I never wanted to LSU to lose. All I want is Brady to never coach at LSU again. And it will happen. We got outcoached plain and simple. They did not play better than we did. We got outcaoched.

Bullsh!t. You want LSU to lose b/c you know that is the only way Brady won't be coaching.

Pathetic to pull against your own school, no matter how much you dislike the coach.

First let me say, I have never been a fan of Brady, but I am a fan of the Tigers. I want them to win no matter who is the coach. If their winning means keeping a coach around I don't care for, so be it.

That being said, golfer, you are a major ****, and you seriously need to pull that broomstick out of your ass. No LSU fan should be gloating about a loss, and that is exactly what you are doing! Either you are TE, or related to him, because your attitude sucks just as bad!

That is the way I feel too, it doesn't matter to me who the coach is, I am and will always be a LSU fan, win or lose, I am not saying I don't want them to win, but if they lose I am still their fan.

Do you lurk around waiting for a loss just so you can bash Brady? Pathetic.

I doubt he's much of a golfer either. The more you talk about your golf game, the worse you are.

So you guys are Ok with winning 20 games a season and never coming close to making a Final Four. I guess you all like Smoke too. Wow we made another a NCAA Tourney, wow we made it to Omaha again. That does not cut it for me. We have to win there. Its like when I play a golf tournament where the payout is 1k for first and $700 for second. Wow I came in second good payday. Well I feel horrible about it because I know 2nd is nothing. Just making it to the dance is not what its all about. You have to WIN there.

God, I hope you don't have a kid. We'll see him on the news one day atop the State Capitol with a sniper rifle.
