LSU fans will support programs who do well but also put a quality product out there. Look at our gymnastics meets.Kim never had that kind of attendance success at Baylor! Kudos to LSU and Kim for getting the word out and garnering the support.
Some regions just seem to want to support their programs and some very good programs can't get anyone to appreciate them. Iowa and Iowa State fall into the former and Baylor, Texas and Stanford fall into the latter...
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 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.
Being out home verses Florida is big. Some of our players just are just not good on the road (Cherry). I am expecting Morris and Pointer to have huge games, they still need more from Aifuwa. Aifuwa has been pretty bad since Ole Miss where she surprisingly out played Austin. Not sure what is going on but we struggle much more when we don't get production from her.
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 think Aifuwa is tired, as is others. It's been a long year with some back to back games due to covid.

I always felt when Payne name has been called. She always give us some production.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.

I think Payne has been giving some great minutes lately off the bench as well. Personally, I am a little surprised Trasi doesn't get more time at times. She gives good minutes and she definitely more offensively capable than Newby. Gusters..... she rebounds the ball more but does nothing offensively unfortunately.
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.LSU won . . . ugly!
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.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.
I simply don't understand how the hell Pointer could shoot that badly.

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.Gusters played well too!!
The post players, offensively, carried the team.Gusters played well too!!
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.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 for her little time.
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.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.

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.I hate to sound mean but unless Cherry is hot, she should not be taking as many shots as she does.

Pretty amazing what they have done in such a short time. They aren’t very talented but the experience is a big factor. Plus adding Morris may end up proving to be the most critical piece to this team this year![]()

They are gonna need to hit the portal hard. They lose way too much experience next season
