Does MU run the same offensive plays time and time again, which ends up to be a high screen and roll with Cadougan. I can understand if you had Brendon Jennings run that play
over and over again but JC does not have the same quickness. Need to look at that offense to get DJO more looks. Secondly, a big play in the game was when Mu was up 1 and
ran the same out of bounce play two times in a row. Gardner got striped, the rest is history. They have a lot to work on the next two weeks before the Big East opener. Also, if MU
is in a tight game like this, Mayo needs to be in. Last thought, LSU hit some crazy shots. I can see how they lost other games but 7-11 from three land will win most tight games. Got
to give them some credit, Otule out will be challenge against big teams.
Wasn't the same inbounds play...Gardner was stripped because Jae was knocked down.
It might have been different, but the last place you want to have the ball is in that corner, throw it deep if you have to.

Agree. Just stating JC got mugged and the play went to crap.
And it was the emotional turning point for LSU. DG cannot get stripped that easily.

Two things that always bother me about us.
The first is under the basket inbounds plays. When we have the ball on one of those, I am relieved if we just manage to get the ball in without turning it over (it is always an adventure for us for some reason). When the opponent has one of those, it seems we give up a lot of layups.
The second is our rebounding of missed free throws. I've mentioned it before, but I actually want our opponents to make their last free throw because I'd rather they get 1 point than the 2 or 3 they're going to get when they get the offensive rebound for the easy putback or wide open 3.
Of course there are many things we do well, but those two things drive me nuts.
