LTF your boys are letting me down
 

good thing it is still early. they better win

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

spkb...don't get me started, Their down more points than I would have ever thought, the funny thing is I wasn't worried about UCLA going into the game, now I'm back on the juice..

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

It's still early

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Not good, UCLA just hit a 3 from way down town, I'll bet that "Big Baby" will come to life soon, Mitchell needs pickup his game in this one for us to win.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

i feel you man. ucla looks fast out there. hopefully they are just nervous.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

If we go down by 18 or more I'll lose my mind, I know it's early but I'm somewhat nervous, but then again, their the TIGERS.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

cherm what are you a parrot

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

get that inside game going and settle down and play that great d you guys have played

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

jesus bro they need to settle down. they are going all crazy out there. i don't think they can match ucla's speed. slow it down

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Turnovers aren't helping us either, as you said the speed of UCLA is hurting us, reason for the turnovers, we're not playing good D as of yet, our D is what got us to this point.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

you guys are having chances to get back into this and the last few posesions i think you guys might be starting to settle down. depends what you guys do from here. need to get that pale white guy out of there

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

They better find someone that can shoot or we are in trouble.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

"need to get that pale white guy out of there"
I agree.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

i guess he is young or i am assuming so from what the annoucers said but man he made a good play then went down the court and turned the ball over. then went down and turned it over again.

davis looks exhausted

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

you guys have to make a run before half. if not could be to big a whole. missing to many free throws too

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

That's what I was going to post, we can't hit the FT's, if we would have hit just half of them we would be in much better shape, I have no more finger nails to chew on.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

yeah bro it doesn't look good. they just look to fast and athletic

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

need a miracle man

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Bad half by the Tigers, if things don't improve very soon we're dead, hopefully we can make the necessary changes for the better going into the half.

Sooner or later, when you have 0 perimeter players, it is going to cost you. UCLA is playing good D on the inside, so LSU is forced to shoot from the outside. One problem: my grandma can hit a jump shot better than LSU's players. Seriously, I've never seen a poorer outside shooting team in my life.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

I can except losing but not in this fashion, if we must lose let's lose by playing our best game, we still have a shot at winning though, gotta believe.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

"I've never seen a poorer outside shooting team in my life."
Hell we can't even shoot from the line, ULCA is like 64% in FG's alone.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

well i am not going to bad mouth lsu they friga are one of four teams left in the entire nation. they are just getting beat by a more athletic team. if ucla ends up winning i don't think florida can beat them.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

kinda unrelated but very imprtant question, is bryant gumble the silliest looking fool you have seen in some time? i swear he is something out of a comic

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

They're two players away from taking it next year: two guards who strike fear in a team like UCLA.

Get the ball inside. If LSU loses, they should make UCLA earn it. Bruise them.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

I have a very bad feeling about this game

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

I've never been much of a Gumble fan.

Another 3 from way downtown by UCLA, I think I need to barf.

RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

What's up with all the turnovers?

Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

"They're two players away from taking it next year: two guards who strike fear in a team like UCLA."

I agree, next year looks very good for us.

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

just getting beat by a better team. can't be upset with being one of the final 4. that is an excellent season. i know it hurts but at least you got to ride this long. 60 plus teams didn't

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

spkb..as bad as it will be to forget this lost I can only imagine how good we'll be next year..
Go Tigers, gotta love em'

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

LTF, I was rooting for LSU tonight, was hoping to see them go all the way. If you guys can get ur underclassmen to all come back u guys will be nice next year, I'd be worried about Davis, Thomas, or both going pro. For such an entertaining tournament we had 2 lame games tonight.

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

timay i can't disagree with you. they were over before they began almsot. i say this carefully, this should be a good final. i like ucla

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Neither Thomas or Davis displayed the necessary will to dominate to interest pro scouts. Everybody's that athletic in the NBA, you have to bring it. Davis was caught too close to the baseline to make his normal shot, most of which was in his control, and Thomas played with his head on a swivel and didn't help his guards out. Another year (or two) of playing at a high college level will help these guys out tremendously.

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Congrats to LSU... they came a long way this season. Prior to the start of the season, no one could have believed with a straight face that they would make it all the way to the Final Four. Losing tonight should not dampen what we accomplished this year. Hopefully with the success we're having, we can finally land a good recruiting class. Things are looking up for our program... now we just need a shooting guard.

Anyone remember how John Brady was on the verge of getting fired this year? Guess he'll get an extension now... :)

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Davis & Thomas both hopefully will return next season, but they both played horrible last night due to a very good UCLA D, hats off to UCLA for a job well done, I hope they beat the Gators, a team I dislike like no other.

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Glen Davis has been quoted by si.com that he will be back for his junior season... great news our Tigers. Now if we can get the same from Thomas... :D

Glen Davis:

"I'll be back," he said. "I want to maximize my ability. I want to enjoy college. This has been a wonderful ride that I can put in my book of memories."

Tyrus Thomas:

"We'll see what happens," he said. (on returning to LSU next season)

Thomas sounded as if he wants to give it another run with the Tigers.

"Somebody had to lose, and I never thought it would be us," he said. "But there's an upside to this. We'll be in Atlanta next year [at the Final Four] -- and we'll win it."



"I wish I could hit the rewind button and go back," Davis said. "I can't do that, of course. But this will make me a better person and a better player. It makes me want to get back next year and win it all."

RE: Re: RE: LTF your boys are letting me down
 

Thanks papz for the post, that's good news, as you said if we get Thomas back too it will be good, if they both return we should pickup where we left off from this season.
UCLA had a great game plan, which was to run Davis hard up and down the court, the speed of UCLA is what won it for them, Davis needs to be in better shape coming into next season, I bet he totally agrees, the way he plays he needs to have good size but I say if he loses about 20 pounds he'll be better off.
Hopefully UCLA beats the Gators tonight.
