we don't play good enough defense to be a good team. You can't give up 80 points and expect to beat good teams. And this has been a problem for several years. We are a mediocre defensive team.

Agree and we start out way too slow every game.

We gotta get a good youngish coach--someone who can make players better and make the team better. I don't see Warlick doing that. We do not get better as a team. Out-played and out-coached in the second half.

It amazes me how Stanford can get such home cooking at their place and we can't even get a fair game called half the time at our place. Wtf was with those TWO phantom technical fouls? That's your ballgame right there. Plus, why were Graves and Simmons on the bench so long in the 2nd half. We were down 5 or 6 and our two best players are riding the pine while LSU extends their lead.

And, I'll tell you EXACTLY the psychology of those technical fouls. When you are a bad ref ... not even a bad ref, bad at ANYTHING, most people know it and feel self conscious about it. If someone reacts in any way to your incompetence, your reaction is to immediately get retribution to help yourself feel better. The ref made a horrible foul call on Simmons, knew it, and then made two more mistakes. Disgrace to the game.

Horrible play at times I liked the techs though and the comeback that ensued. Tough loss but good win for Caldwell

Very low energy by the team most of the night. They made a good comeback but you just have to come out and play hard from the beginning of the game.

Refs didn't help that was not a foul on Simmons was a flop by the LSU player. Then all those technicals did us in.

I think Graves is injured,she didn't play much after she left the game in the first half

I have to agree were not getting better. Were the same team we were at the beginning of the season. Other teams are getting better were staying the same.

This is a very tough loss and on a night like this, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and will be hard to get over for some time.

Horrible game Very disappointed. Why don't they play defense all game like they did in the last 4 minutes. Too many missed free throws too. 4 points on T's and you lose by 3 Composure

Never like the idea of calling a TO on offense in the last 15 seconds unless absolutely necessary. It usually ends up as it did tonight, a mess from a defense that has adjusted.

Does Warlick know what she's doing? Simmons spend much of the second half on the bench, doesn't get a single shot, and our offense goes in the toilet? We find ways to lose games.
