The Tigers have a long long way to go to get to a level where they can compete with the big boys on a consistant basis, but don't sell Miss St short they are a legit contender. We will need a BUNCH of talented but extremly inconsistant players to step up next year for us to take the next step towards being a consistant winner against top notch competition.:geaux: :lsug:
Tirk Someone can have military style coaching and lose control of a team. Does not mean military style coaching is effective. Anytime a team has the number of bad shots that LSU has taken tonight DOES not dictate a coach that has control of his team. You watch bad shot after bad shot after bad shot and a lack of defensive intensity the last three games. I see a pattern forming.
Sourdoughman, what the hell are you talking about? It's obvious that Lloreda and Koundja's injuries are the cause of the poor team play in the last three games. We may not have won the last three games without those injuries but it sure as hell would have been a lot different. To me its simple, with Lloreda not 100% the team is lost. Bass is clearly not ready yet (possibly a little bit Brady's fault), and with little post presence our guards are forced into take too many bad shots.
I'm not a Brady Basher, I've defended him but have disagreed with him also this year......... I'm starting to wonder if he's in over his head...... Maybe TE was right about some players he's recruited including the news about that player that was playing in Utah that got kicked off the team..... Is he losing the players and having trouble recruiting? This program maybe in trouble?? Wheres all the people that were bashing Dale Brown now?
This is a very average LSU team. Let's not fool ourselves. Can anyone name a good quality opponent that LSU has beaten. Florida can count because we beat them at their house. Other than Florida, who?? LSU is in the meat of their schedule and just not competing.
Sourdougman, The last 2 losses were without their best player. This loss was against a top 10 team on the road. Assuming the coaches do a good job LSU should have some confidence going back home even against UK. That game is winnable. My point is if UK also handles LSU then that maybe it for the season. I do think LSU only needs 2 more wins to make the tourney. Hopefully they can at least do that.
Its very simple.......... Dale Brown NEVER had a team that lost this many games by blow outs like this team has no matter about injuries. What the Hell will happen when Jaime isn't here next year?
