The last week has been brutal. If only they had played better defense from outside the arc. IDK? What could have been going back to the Vandy game. This team seems to have multiple personalities, you don't know which one will show up.
How the hell do we close out games? We’ve looked lost the last several games, and even early we’d give up big leads. Or as the positigers say, everything is fine.
Attendance was good; still lost. UK isn’t chopped liver, but they were beatable. I understand WW is unhappy with the slide; can he turn it around? S Carolina will be another scrap.
4-1 is optimistic; I’d be pretty happy with that. If WW can avoid losing the team, maybe. Seems like there’s a little underlying funk. Manning looked pretty good last night, Taylor is largely MIA - no Waters to set him up.
UK was bigger and quicker at almost every position. We did well to stay close. 10 games they beat us 9.
Opposing teams get hot with 3s against LSU. For many years, I have noticed this. This might be the number one reason I turn off the games. I love LSU and the team,..lifelong fan, but many times when I’m watching at home, I’ll see it starting. I’ll switch off and tell my wife. Here they go with the 3s. Can’t watch. Too frustrating. According to the DD site, Kentucky drained it’s first seven threes of the second half (seven}? This is the sole reason a Kentucky won. Opposing 3s just kill LSU. Even contested ones...EVERY year and nearly every game. Snake bit.
Big UK guys in the paint swatted 11 shots and altered our shot selection and efficiency. We still beat UK in the paint (maybe because they started hitting 3s and we pretty much let them). WW might need to reconsider that philosophy.
