LSU 80 v. Alabama 82 BB Game in T-Town - A Must Win Game?

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide is trying to lose this game. They have fallen apart the last 5 minutes. Tide 66 LSU 64. Releford has gone ice cold. LSU adjusted to Releford & are shutting him down.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

Very bad timeout by Grant. We have 1 timeout with 5:55 left in game.

Tide disintegrating right in front of everyone. MANY turnover/steals caused by pressure of LSU. We had 19 point lead and now trail by 1, 72-71. We led 47-28 but LSU has gone on 44-24 run.

Hale having a great half. Releford shooting FT's, goes 2/2. Tide 81-77. Tide wins 82-80!

WOW! What a finish. We did not play very good in the second half but we had some guys step up in the last few minutes. That was a good win for the Tide.

Hale and Cooper had great games.

[pmull]

LSU caused us a lot of trouble with their pressure. We missed Obasohan tonight.

Releford 21
Cooper 19
Hale 17 
Randolph 14

That was breath taking. We won a big game. Our 10-10 record could be mad enough for the NIT if we quit losing these close games. RTR!

This is what we have been missing, 3 legitimate scorers in a game to keep the other team off-balance. Hale is the real deal, Cooper will probably score 3 points in the next game.

Glad we won this one, but that seems to be a common thread, Tide falling apart in second half.  Is it a conditioning or adjustments issue?

Maybe Grant listened to Coach Knight, getting Hale more involved.

Good win for the Tide.

IMO conditioning is not an issue for us. LSU came back in the 2nd half because their big guys controlled the paint. They had foul trouble in the 1st half and OBIII and another post player sat on the bench while we built a 13 point lead. In the 2nd half their big guys scored with ease. They also went to the press and it gave us fits. Releford was our only ball handler with Obasohan out. Key struggled and turned the ball over several times. In past games with 2nd half collapses teams decide to shut Releford down and no one stepped up to score points. Last night we had 4 guys with 14 or more. Jacobs had 8.

The box score had the attendance listed as 12601. It was a good crowd that got loud at times. It looked much better on TV than empty seats.

Jamos where are you? We need a court side report.

Good, well-thought review of the 2nd half.  Thanks.

The refs had a lot to do with the complextion of the game as well. They were calling touch fouls in the first half and then started to let them bang each other in the second half as LSU applied the press and that is LSU's style of play. A lot of their points were made possible by plays that would have been fouls in the first half. LSU has some good athletes though and can shoot the threes.
