What did Wade do that was against the laws of the US? Maybe failed to 1099 Smart and Mom?What’s odd is that he’s not charged w anything. If the FBI had anything on him legally, wouldn’t he have been charged? He’s toast w the NCAA and LSU anyway, so I can’t imagine why he’d be advised by his counsel not to cooperate
You have to help on D or you’ll give up wide open lay ups. I’d rather give up open 3s than open lay ups. I do think we should’ve at least tried a zone on them as it seems like under Pearl we sometimes struggled with zones. The bigger issue was on offense. We jacked up 28 3s which is 9 more than our season average. Add to that the fact we lost the turnover battle 13-5 and that’s why we lost. I didn’t feel like Auburn’s D did anything more to generate those turnovers than other teams. We just played a sloppy game offensively.Our Vols choked away the opportunity to hang another SEC Championship banner by losing to LSU and AU. For what was at stake today, the players, as well as the coaches, didn't seem to have the sense of urgency I would expect. Barnes was completely out coached by our former coach, and I am afraid his stubbornness will cost us in the big tourney. I thought going into the game that we should not play help defense and leave their shooters open on the perimeter and that's exactly what we did. We played right into their hands and they knocked down the open shots. At the same time, Barnes allowed Turner to continue throwing up bricks from beyond the arc when he is shooting 14% the last 7 games and Grant was unstoppable in the paint. I hope we get our sh!t together or a chance at an " epic" season wil go down the drain.
If LSU eventually vacates the SEC title, it's ridiculous that there would be no champion.
If LSU had been on probation since the start of the season and had been playing under the sanction of being ineligible for the title all along, then UK and UT would have been declared co-champs today.
It makes no sense that the timing of LSU's punishment determines whether or not someone else gets the title.
I agree with most of what you say. But dribble drives have been a problem for us all season. To me, it looks like we are afraid to guard one on one (or can't) on dribble drivers and they just drive away on us. Is it because we are trying to protect starters by playing helper type defenses on the drives or just know our one on one defenders just aren't good enough by themselves? All this "help" defense leaves too many open "3" for shooters and most teams have one maybe two guys who unguarded, will hit nearly 40% (maybe more) of the shots they are given free and molested.You have to help on D or you’ll give up wide open lay ups.
