LSU had a 38-11 free throw advantage and a 44-20 rebounding advantage and Arkansas was called for 29 fouls to LSU’s 18, and Harris/Gafford both fouled out with like 4 mins to go and still lost at home. It’s horseshit how bad the league tries to protect the ranked teams sometimes. Nice to get a win, but we’ll probably turn around and lose to Vandy at home on Tuesday
Can’t say I’ve watched many bama basketball games this year but why is Petty coming off the bench, and why does Avery’s son still get playing time? They’ve got the talent to be better than they are but they do a lot of stupid shit
56% vs 51% win percentage Johnson/Lebo respectively, so pretty much the same there... Lebo also made it past the first round in the NIT.
Petty was playing better coming off the bench I think. He’s just one of those wildly inconsistent players that can show up big or be nonexistent. Avery seems like he can’t find the right combos of players to compliment each other though.

Mike Anderson has no idea how to beat a zone... still... and has like 20 years of coaching experience
I was worried he was going to fuck around and win enough to keep his job. Hopefully they completely tank now
We continue to be good against bad sec teams. Can’t wait for Tennessee to slap the shit out of us midweek.
Not that there’s ever really a great time to shit on your players, but pulling the “these aren’t my guys, not my fault they suck” card as a first year coach on the same day you got your ass beat by a first year coach with a bunch of players that aren’t his is especially bad timing.
So he’s reactively making himself like a martyr or something for keeping shitty players? Wow. Sounds like he’s trying to both give himself credit for being a nice guy and keeping them while throwing them under the bus and saying “hey it’s not my fault..... my kids are fucking terrible”. No shit, but to throw them under the bus so punlocally is pretty shitty imo Even if he did cut them, marginal difference with whatever players he’d bring in off the scrap heap in year 1.
Gafford can play soft as hell sometimes. Gets pushed around and makes stupid ass fouls. He is nowhere near ready for the NBA. We got outscored 40-15 to end the game. Anderson has one style of ball and can't make adjustments to anything.
How is UF on the bubble... 12-11, best win was a semi miracle at home against Ole Miss.... second best win is...Stanford? The NET sucks
