Chunking up threes with most of the shot clock, up 10, equals loss. That's when you channel Les, grind grind grind score. Bye NCAAs, we never knew ye.
That loss may come back to haunt this team. LSU has to finish 12-6 in league play to make tournament. Tough road swing coming up. Two losses and the season could be damn near over.
Jones must not believe in calling a timeout to stop a run by his opponent. There were at least two points in the second half that he should have called a timeout. Also, at the end of the game another opportunity to call a timeout to possibly get an inbound opportunity. Bad, bad loss. I was there the crowd was into it and the Tigers just can't seem to turn the corner.
Maybe things will change when Johnny Jones Jr gets here. The younger Jones was 7 for 7 from 3 point territory last night fou U High
Daddy Dale lasted 25 years as our coach with lots of great memories. If CJJ has a career like that, then he is not "in over his head" as @islstl purports.
Not sure about JJs X's and O's coaching, but yesterday was a disturbing loss. I know he can recruit and he is doing a fantastic job there. Personality wise he seems like a good fit, he knows LSU and the culture. If he has shortcomings in his ability to coach that can be cured by hiring the right assistants that are strong where he is weak. I still have confidence in Jones and believe he was the right hire, but yesterday looked like a temporary step back that should not have happened. Hopefully it was a learning experience that won't be repeated.
