There was very little effort Sat especially in first half.


That was the most troubling sign of all. LSU didn't get to lose balls. They didn't close out hard on shooters. Wade looked like someone who was defeated and out of potential answers. Even in the prior losses LSU seemed to play hard. In the first half vs. Vandy, for the first time all season, they looked defeated and uninterested.

I think the term "must win" is grossly overused. But it really does feel like the game at A&M is close to a "must win". Along with it being a chance for a road win (something LSU really needs more of), this team just needs something to go right. Once losses pile up the desire to come out and work day after day starts to wain.

Brandon Murray has established himself to be the go to guy when needing a shot. Even he has played with an injured wrist but he is becoming a knockdown shooter.

Miller was your guy. He goes down. Now Pinson is your guy.


Idk where some of you are getting this. Miller is not a PG and was not going to be one for this team.

Would he be able to create for himself and help our scoring woes? Yes. That still wouldn’t help the fact that we have 0 half court offense. That wouldn’t change with our without Miller.

This team desperately needs a PG that can get his team involved without turning the ball over at a high rate and not be a liability offensively. We just don’t have that right now.

Miller played PG for the national team but couldn’t for LSU?

Some of y’all are so completely out of touch with reality

We are not playing ourselves out of the tournament.

This is simply not true. If we keep losing, we will not make the tournament. That is a fact. Do you think that losing to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt is excusable?

On top of that, yeah, Auburn and Kentucky's coached are comparable to Wade. When you start piling up deep runs and final fours, there is more slack given. Wade hasn't even scared those at LSU.

In 7 years at Auburn, Pearl has been to the tournament 3 times (counting covid year). He has one final four appearance.

In 4 years at LSU, Wade has been to the tournament 3 times (counting covid year). Wade should have a final four capable team next year.

It took Pearl 4 years to make the tournament. It took Wade 1. Wade is 20!!!!! years younger than Pearl.

And there it is. Content with the tourney and early exit. All that matters to the participation trophy group. But hey, we got next year. Lol

Pearl went in 2019 and has the best team in the country in 22. You frickers are idiots. Give me an elite 8 or final four...then you missing the tourney is overlooked. We don't have that at lsu but hey we make the trny and quick out. Jesus Christ. Wade has done jack shite but take a team full of highly ranked players to the trny...and then see ya.
