LSU fans will support programs who do well but also put a quality product out there. Look at our gymnastics meets.
I think we beat Alabama. The outcome of Florida/TN would not surprise me. Could go 0-2, 1-1, and 2-0 and none of it would shock me. They are capable.
I think Aifuwa is tired, as is others. It's been a long year with some back to back games due to covid. Several players are shooting short, which is always due to fatigue. Now's the time to dig deep!
I figured but Aifuwa historically gets into these funks, and for the most part she has stayed out of that zone for most of the year. Hopefully she works out of this funk soon and she gets back on track for post season. LSU is a much much much more dangerous team when she plays well. Having some balance inside to complement Pointer and Morris helps a lot.
I always felt when Payne name has been called. She always give us some production.
Understatement of the year. Cherry and Pointer went a combined 4-32, they almost sank the ship all by themselves. Morris and the posts were terrific.
Sometimes I feel Morris need to be a bit more selfish. Because Cherry can take some horrible shots and Pointer just was not good today.
Gusters played well too!!
May have been the first time I saw her post up, demand the ball and just play smart basketball. Her, Newby, Faustine, and Trasi were all wonderful. It was unexpected as the posts have really been struggling lately. Heck of a time to step up when we had our worst shooting performance of the year from the guards. It is a team sport so your teammates sometimes have to have your back when nothing goes your way.
The post players, offensively, carried the team.
I hate to sound mean but unless Cherry is hot, she should not be taking as many shots as she does. She has not proven to be someone consistent or dependable for scoring. She is very very streaky, and when her shot isnt on its usually really bad.
As Mulkey said, did you see who was defending her. That girl was cut. Imagine taking the ball up the court with Smith guarding you every time.
If you watch Mulkey's press conferences, and she said it again today, her coaching philosophy is to keep shooting it. If you stop shooting, the other team has already won because they beat you mentally. The 3 things Mulkey will bench you for is poor defense, poor rebounding and taking shots when not open. That's why played 40 minutes even though she was 1-17 or something like that today.
