LSU basketball, 2023

So nobody finds Angel Reese’s on court behavior boorish? I mean standing over an oppent fallen to the floor after a block is a bit much. Just saying.
 
I really don't think LSU is on a par with SC. If I had to peg them to a comparison team, it would be Tennessee if Horston is playing. Lots of talent, not a lot of team play.

Neither team has a chance against SC. The only difference is Tennessee played a bunch of tough teams early on and got exposed even before conference play. By contrast, LSU skated through OOC, and is about to play a couple of more serious teams in conference. They will get a beatdown from SC worse than Sandy or Auburn and be exposed.

On the other hand, if LSU blows out Tennessee, I'll change my view about them.

Jeesh. Tennessee and LSU BOTH "have a chance."

Anybody remember Mizzou or Kentucky?

Fair enough, but that's a slender hope for a huge upset. Not impossible, but not really likely. Also, KY and Mizzou had no pretensions about themselves, no bubble just waiting to be punctured.

I agree, both of these teams are capable of the upset if they have a hot night shooting 3's. I don't think either Tennessee or LSU ( or anybody really) is gonna beat SC with post play and rebounding alone.

Reese is a great player but personally I do not like her behavior on the court at all. I am all for playing with passion and enthusiasm, but I do not like her blatant disrespect of the opponent. I have watched a few LSU games and she got a warning from ref in one game and technical foul in the other.

She is going to get called most times on this type of behavior. l can’t see her getting very far with it in upcoming games with Tennessee and South Carolina or in NCAA tournament

Against SC, Boston and Cardoso will look down at her like a bug buzzing about their feet. She can see how it feels to be swatted. Has she even played against someone as physical as Saxton or Amihere? I don’t think so. Sure, an upset is a distant possibility, if they’re in a low moment, but not for a game SC is likely to be up for.

I would be pretty surprised if LSU or Tennessee kept it close with South Carolina this year. From the games I have seen, LSU has dominated the offensive glass and that probably is not happening against SC. South Carolina has the post game to neutralize Reese, and I think Brea Beal will have a major impact defensively on the perimeter. While Tennessee has size, I am just not sure it's good enough to contend with Boston inside either. Brink had 21 & 17 in only 26 minutes against Tennessee, I would imagine Boston would be able to put up a big game as well.

Yea...people aren't getting the difference between celebratory behavior and the direction of that celebration. Its direction in the face of an opponent (that she actually fouled if you ask me)...is the issue I have.

She wasn't standing over her. She gave her a withering stare and had some words to say as she was turning away. Should she have kept her mouth shut? Probably. But damn...she blocked that shot while she was holding her shoe.

In looking at the clip it appears that what Reese said is what got her the tech not "standing" over her because if you notice Johnson was "standing" over her too lol

UM...NO...I didn't. Read my post and the comment ABOUT REESE that I replied to. I'm not that guy who doesn't call it like it is. And Reese's behavior isn't some isolated incident. It's repetitive.

What type of guy you are is neither here or there for me. My point is whether repetitive or not it's done by many in wbb even Husky players.

I think LSU should handle Tennessee. The only problem I could potentially see is defending Jackson. Just don't think the Tennessee posts will be able to contain Reese. However, Jasmine Franklin could be someone to keep an eye on. Undersized, but very physical. I think LSU should still win though.

I respectfully disagree. Why did she get a technical foul then?

I would gander that she had to stand over the Arkansas player and say something to get the tech.

Oh lort save us. I just had a vision of the Jackson/Reese matchup and all I saw was a sea of technicals.

Lol I believe Jackson & Reese are good friends so I’d be surprised if those two do any trash talking to one another.
 


Basketball game aside. Hard to believe two years ago, less than a thousand people were in the stands but then packed over 15,000 tonight.
