I took a nap at 4 and didn't wake up until 7:20, slept like sh!t, last night. So, I missed the whole first half and 5 or 6 minutes of the 2nd half. What happened with Olivier and Barnes ?

Unpopular opinion:
BHH is wasted minutes right now. Nothing more than Barnes trying to appease a fan base screaming for change.

Believe Barnes knows that BHH will have to gain experience and play in the post season tournaments. The more he plays, the quicker he we become productive and the better we will be late this year and next Fall.

I’ll try a better one. Jimmy G won his playoff game as a 6 seed and won on the road. Tanneyhill played at home as #1 seed and loss. For the record I don’t have a dog in the hunt. Heck I’m a Cowboys fan. But you did say prove you wrong. Just presenting facts.

Olivier made another poor play and Barnes yanked him. He was basically in Barnes’ face on the sideline yelling. Barnes won that confrontation.

Olivia is souring himself in my eyes. He plays soft, has attitude issues, never accepts blame for his own mistakes, and is a liability on offense. I’m not completely out on him yet, but I don’t think he offers much more than BHH as it stands currently, and BHH has an upside a mile higher.

Yeah, I believe on that play ON got back slowly on a fast break leading to an uncontested layup, and then there was an extended discussion with RB on the sidelines where ON looked pretty animated.

I would agree with all your statements. I would also say he’s got a low basketball IQ. Just makes poor decisions too often. I will be disappointed if his minutes are not cut even more.

I agree, Barnes has talked about him being a vocal leader. Maybe that’s how his teammates see him, idk I’m not in the locker room. However, on the floor he comes across as quick to chew out his teammates for their mistakes and then he throws his arms up in the air at the bench whenever he screws up. He let Mashack have it at one point tonight then immediately got a foul and a turnover himself I believe. You’re no leader if you can point out your teammates short coming, but not your own.

ON played well early. Got a couple tough fouls called on him & it got in his head. Played tough vs Eason.

Yeah, I don’t like how he is constantly ripping into his teammates when mistakes happen, especially when more often than not he is the one that committed the mistake. It’s not being a vocal leader, it’s being immature. Hopefully Barnes can sort it out. We don’t have enough in the post to not have him play. He’s going to get minutes, and we need them to be productive.

After missed call after missed call I'll allow it. If the refs had called things as they should then LSU would have been playing walk ons.

Yeah, we honestly should have won by a lot more. There were several fouls called but I think this ranks in the top 2 or 3 worst officiated games for us. The refs about caused an on court fight by never calling anything in the first half

I think our team lost some confidence during that tough stretch starting with @ Alabama but they have gotten it back.
