You see Grant pointing at his heart in overtime, when Kyle was coming to the bench? If he can’t get more physical he’ll have a hard time playing overseas let alone NBA.

We scored lots of points off their turnovers. Their FT average only balanced out to normal because of fouls at the end of the game. Mostly Lawson.

We had multiple wide open layups we missed. We fouled out arguably their best player very early and kept him in foul trouble where when he did play it was limited.

Kansas turned the ball over about a million times to start the game and we somehow turned that into a 5 point deficit.

You just won’t get a better opportunity to beat the #1 team in the country than we just did. It is what it is. Sucks

We definitely did things uncharacteristic too though, Azubuike is definitely not their best player but we were without admiral much of the first half, and half our team was in foul trouble in then2nd half. I feel we are a good team and some of the things you’re acting as if we got lucky and handed to us are actually a result of us being a good team and causing those things.

It works both ways though.

You can play good defense. Force turnovers. Get guys in foul trouble.

But you have to bury them right then and there. And we never did. You can’t let teams like this hang around. There were plenty of opportunities.

It’s just my perspective of the game but it felt a lot like Louisville. A game where at points we should have been ahead double digits and instead we were a lot closer to even.

I know you said arguably but Azubuike is not their best player. That’s Dedric Lawson. Vick is their best shooter. Both from Memphis.

I’m gonna have to retreat to the regulars thread with all the FF bozos coming over to give us their takes.

Can Meechigan and tOSU get into a brawl or something and have a double forfeit? I guess I'm for the Fighting Harbaughs, but I wish there was a way for them to miss the playoff. Unless it's Georgia instead.

Hope we don’t overlook Eku. They have a talented first year head coach, and nick mayo can be an absolute monster. Already has a 40 pt game this year.

We blew a winnable game against Kansas. Obviously biggest factor was losing G. Williams but the timing of turnovers, giving up offensive rebounds, not too great defense, poor shot selection (Admiral and Turner) and lack of taking it to the hoop was too much to overcome against a top 5 team.
Sick and effen tired of Vandy dominating us in football. How the hell did we beat Auburn and KY and stay in the game against SC? Sickening.
Went to UVA Wise to watch LMU claw by the Cavaliers 87-77. Horribly officiated game from start to finish.
Railsplitters squeak by Virginia-Wise with second-half surge 87-77 - Lincoln Memorial University Athletics
Hope everyone had a great Turkey day.
Peace love and tranquilizers

LSU is just a poorly coached basketball team. Everybody ball-watches on offense, nobody gets out on jumpshooters, ugly turnovers, stupid fouls.

Glad we didn't wind up with Will Wade. He can recruit, but that's about it.
