How do you think the men's basketball will finish the season?

We miss DMitch more than TT....Defense is not our main problem...we can block all the shots we want but we still couldn't throw it in the ocean

 

I Disagree,
If my memory serves me correctly from the NCAA tournament we won
against Texas, Texas ATM and Duke with very little to NO outside
game in most of these.
I was stunned, didn't think that was possible but we did it with TT.
We really have been quite fortunate to win as many games as
we have the last few years with one consistant shooter from
the outside, D Mitchell.

Yes Garret Temple has been a surprise but LSU basketball under Brady.
We very seldom have a gun slinger from the outside, reputation, etc.
Brady sure can recruit the front court but our back court always leaves
something to be desired.
I've been saying this for years.

I'm not bashing Brady either, I've learned better after the last few
years.
We had 2 great years in a row and now our run could be over.
We have some transfers and other new players that have to figure
out where they fit in and hopefully will get use to playing in the SEC.
Remember these new players have to get use to playing in the #1
conference in the nation and thats no easy task.
How many games these guys got under their belts?

I don't care about this year, I'm more interested in next but we
need some good guards especially shooters.

 

Yes TT did contribute greatly to those wins, DM also WON the A&M game. We lost 16 ppg in DM and nobody has stepped up to cover that. The reason TT got the 12-13 ppg he got was because we had the outside threat in DM. Teams are dropping down and playing us in a 2-3 or another zone because they KNOW we can't throw it in from the perimeter. We pretty much rely on the inside stuff to get us points because nobody can consistently make shots. A guard who can shoot keeps the defense honest and will make it easier to run the offense. Its the same thing about running to set up the pass and vice-versa.

 

Since the West can't win on the road I can see them winning atleast 3 more games. In all honesty the Tigers could still win 8-10 games.
