MBB G23 Final: Louisiana 86, Georgia Southern 103

[zephyr]

Our guards are small. Our shooting is not good. Our Defense has no nastiness to it. We have one dog on the team and thats Gant. We need more dogs. Our recruiting has not gotten better over the years. Our D1 transfers if they work out, is simply a roll of the dice scenario.

We have shooters but we lack playmakers. Even Stroman is really having a tough time getting around his man this year and creating like he did last year. His assist numbers are still pretty good but his turnovers are through the roof and a lot of them come from trying to get into the lane. We can kick the ball out to a number of guys who can knock down an open 3. We just don't have a lot of guys who can create off the dribble and put pressure on a defense to help. Last night was a perfect example. GSU seemed to get so many open layups or perimeter shots. We got few to none. We had to work much harder on offense to get shots than they did.

GaSo handled the last 5 minutes as well as any team I’ve seen in awhile. They milked the shot clock, including one time they got two offensive rebounds. No need to run it up worse than it was. There was nothing we could have done other than foul in a 20 point game under 5.

Bigger, stronger, faster and deeper won tonight.

They could have scored 130 if they wanted to. Sad state of affairs

I think it is about time we quit recruiting "athletes" and start recruiting "Basketball players"! We could use a few guys that can actually shoot the ball rather than just relying on layups to score! Being able to rebound wouldn't be a bad thing either. Whatever it is we are doing now, it is not working!

Along with not having the bulk to bang the boards, no height on perimeter is absolutely killing us. That's a great example of where we miss MM.

I do not see us winning more than 2 games [App St and Little Rock] the rest of the year unless something changes. We might have a chance against Coastal or stAte, but I have very serious doubt that we can beat anyone else.

Watching on the + last night I noticed a guy in a grey sweatsuit in the huddle when the starters were coming out and then sitting next to Jalen Johnson on that first row behind the bench during the game. Anyone have info on who that is?

Attitude reflects leadership. Comfortable and entitled. That’s what I see on the court.
