re: This game is on Scott Woodward

I COMPLETELY disagree with firing Mulkey but there's certainly room from criticism. All season this team has played the exact same with little to no improvement.

Mulkey isn't hungry anymore and has become too much of a players' coach. She has allowed bad habits all season.

re: Gilbert shooting ?

Yea but she should've given up the ball and not forced shots. Williams called for the ball to end the 3rd qtr and Gilbert ignored her and forced a bad play.

In the 4th, she opted to take shots, even though Johnson had the hot hand. This team has struggled all year with knowing WHO should have the ball in key times of the game.

Gilbert won 2 games this year but didn't provide enough offense entirely this season to justify her forcing shots in this game.
I agree the call was HORRIBLE. I still think LSU could've overcame the call if not for Gilbert. After the way the 3rd qtr ended with Williams calling for the ball and Gilbert ignoring her to force a bad play, I knew it would be over if Gilbert came out to start the 4th.
Hard to do anymore than she did with Gilbert forcing shots. Mulkey should've benched her after the ending of the 3rd qtr.
Gilbert jacked off the game for LSU. FJ was hot to end the game & Gilbert forced shots over and over. Hell, look at the end of the 3rd when MW called for the ball & Gilbert ignored her and forced a bad play.
They had momentum late in the game but Gilbert forced shots and wouldn't give the ball up. LSU has struggled ALL SEASON with not understanding their big 3 should be the scorers in crunch time....unless someone else is having a "game" with the hot hand.
Well, arleast they'll know why they sitting at home after this game. All season they've struggled with knowing who has the hot hand. Morrow playing with a broke nose, lost her footing, and forced a shot with an open player in the corner. SMH
SMDH, that should be Gilbert's last court time this game. Everybody has a role to play and Gilbert needs to understand when she need to give the ball up. MW should ALWAYS get the ball from Gilbert when she's clapping for it.

re: Game over

Game was over when it started. LSU has been lazy on offense & confused defensively They scramble around too much on defense and ALWAYS give up open looks

Offensivel, they are passing up open shots to dribble into trouble, throw it away, or force a shot.
I agree, they get cooked by the better teams. They've struggled all season with going under/over screens. For a team that's athletic across the board, they should've started "switching" on screens halfway through the season.

Offensively, they play sped up and get absolutely no help from the pg position.
Poa should NEVER see the court, she's a waste of a player.
They should just start switching everything and stop running over/under screens. All season they've struggled with that part of their defense. Additionally, Poa is a wasted scholarship spot. She is HORRIBLE on the offensive end and passes on too many open looks. She is scared of ANY ball pressure and gets rid of it whether her teammate is in position or not. The more Poa plays, he more likely they will lose.
Because that's the demeanor of their HC. ND looks ready and are playing to their strengths.

Conversely LSU is rarely ready in big games. Seems BC isn't the coach some thought.
Poa is HORRIBLE. The fact that she's starting is VERY concerning about this team. I get she's supposed to be a decent defender but she's not. Her shot is ugly, she plays too far of the ball and struggles to recover, and her passes shows her lack of vision.

re: Interesting stat on Carr

Posted by ellis197575 on 12/12/24 at 1:39 pm
Of course he is, he throws more check-downs than anyone. Carr gets a lot of 'insignificant' completions. He consistently throws incredibly short of the 1st down marker, expecting players to seemingly make magic happen. The defenders are usually in position to immediately make the tackle but Carr throws it and then just walks off the field like "Welp, I completed the pass. Maybe next time they'll make a play for a 1st down". Carr isn't dynamic at all and is extremely average at his position. He can't make plays when needed.

Whit Weeks has consistently overran plays, putting himself in bad positions. He also blitzes uncontrollably, taking himself out the play, negating the advantage of getting in the backfield so fast.

The offense has no rhythm when it comes to playcalling and the defense is still bad.
I understand but LSU still looks worse than a lot of other teams. Yes, there are no truly dominant teams but LSU looks bad on defense and plays conservative on offense. Honestly, nobody really expects LSU to win big games anymore.

BK always looks utterly dazed and confused on the sideline. He looks helpless when the team is struggling. The game may have passed him by.
BK may be a good coach but he's definitely not elite OR worth his current salary. LSU plays " not to lose" and consistently struggles to make in-hame adjustments. The running game hasn't been good under BK and play-calling in that area is horrible. Its unacceptable to lose the season opener every year as a nearly $10 million a year coach.

BK isn't cut out for the SEC, he doesn't have the necessary "fire" and his rants come off as scripted "anger" when he's blaming the team for poor play/execution.

re: Bad game by Nuss

Posted by ellis197575 on 10/29/24 at 3:58 pm
Nuss said after the Ole Miss game that he should've checked it down more. I thought he learned from that game and was happy to hear him make that statement. However, it must've been all talk because he pressed on a lot of deeper throws, oftentimes completely overlooking the easy checkdown that would've kept the chains moving. The play-calling was horrible as well.

The defense is still bad. Players are always displaying bad habits. The ends never contain or set the edge. They always rush much too far pass the QB allowing him to easily evade pressure. Also, the edge rushers and LB's are always out of control when rushing, which negates the fact they beat their man or got to the QB untouched because they fall all over the place and slide down without getting the sack. Opposing WR's typically catch the ball wide-open and nobody for LSU can consistently tackle in the open-field. There's so many constant issues with this team that it's just too many to list.
He should have had a CFB playoff appearance. LSU had one of the all-time great offenses last year and didn't sniff the playoffs. LSU was in prime position to take control of the conference this past Saturday and completely fell apart. Not to mention losing the season-opener every year he's been here. Those are big match-ups that you spend a considerable amount of time preparing for...only to lose every year.

BK is a good coach, however he's not elite and for long as he's been coaching, if he isn't there by now, he'll never reach that level.
