    Actually I am very pleased with the effort tonight and I saw soemthing that I havent seen in a while...Heart.

    We played better D the whole game than I have seen all year. Davidson stepped up big time and was vocal on the floor. I like that.

    This is our turn around game...We'll climb the ladder right back to the top of the west now!

    Agreed. Though he's not really a center at 185 but hell it's not like the dude learned how to shoot last night.

    I also thought Brady hung him out to dry by putting him into the game to run a set play after he'd been sitting the bench for a looong time. They run that curl play all the time for Tas (who was 6-8) at the time.... why call his number for that play?

    You think? lol

    He has played all of 33 minutes, then he starts tonights.

    He played lights out the first half and the beginning of the 2nd half, then gets taken out at the 10 minute mark and doesn't play again until 1 minute left.

    Then he looked like a kid who hasn't seen much playing time.

    Baffling why he hasn't seen more playing time.

    LSU's biggest problem is end of game situations. There is nobody on this team that can create off the dribble after running the shot clock down. That's what Darrel Mitchell did for us last year.

    And I can't believe it's taken this long for a team to realize that Temple can barely get the ball up the floor before making a pass to the wing. Someone finally started breaking for those long passes and Temple ended up with a bunch of turnovers.

    Well-coached teams don't light up the gym for 37 minutes and then crumble in the last 3. We blew up so bad they should be treating people in the first few rows for shrapnel wounds.

    they didnt play undisciplined. they played like they lacked any experience. temple is disappointing but being a 2 i guess its not completely his fault. his passing is often inexcusable though.

    big baby still living on the perimeter during crunch times. drives me nutz.

    without him underneath there is zero presence. magnum couldnt even front jd much less stop him. id just as soon have big baby body him.

    team looks much improved in many areas for stretches then freak out under pressure like newbs.

    shoot 52% from the field and 100% from the line and still lose says it all.

    i think its time for taz to grow up and lead this team even though he seems passive by nature. Id like to see him take charge and its what I felt he should have been doing to start the season. i guess you cant force someone to be who they arent but id like to see him give it a shot.
