LSU pulling stuff out of their ass right now. Teams really athletic just destroy Robinson. Almost need to go with Livers/Watson/Brooks instead. Damn I miss DJ!

Seriously in football and basketball why are we the most unlucky? I mean Basketball were playing good D and contesting deep shots but every team we F n play they shoot lights out

No instant impact recruits and with few exceptions Beilein teams always seem soft. About what I expected after losing most of the talent from last season. Pretty uninspiring.

This is a really bad shooting team. Matthews is athletic but spotty. Maar is a streaking shooter. Robinson can only shoot when Open, can't create for himself. Somebody will have to step up to score this year if they are gonna have a solid season. Frustrating watching these freshman do well for LSU, and UM's just are ok. Still look lost.

Somehow, one of the most foul-averse teame in the country has put LSU into the bonus at the second TV timeout -- they let everything go in the first half and they're calling ridiculoulsy ticky-tack stuff in the second half.

LSU is shooting an insane 75% in the second half, but the bigger problem is Michigan's lack of defensive rebounds.  Yes, Michigan would be winning this game wth normal LSU shooting luck, but if they lose, it'll be on the number of second chance points they've given up.

necessitates having multiple scorers...right now, we have Wagner and Matthews.  At least two more guys need to step up and start looking to take (and make) shots.

This is the first time I've watched them this season. MAAR, Mo and Mathews are solid. Duncan is who he is. We are going to struggle until a legit 5th starter and a couple bench contributors emerge. Simmons, Teske, Levers and Brooks look like candidates.

The shooting in this game has been atrocious on BOTH sides, but LSU is using some weird voodoo to make most of their terrible shots go in. Also, I pretty much hate the way this game is being called with a boatload of cheap fouls

Wagner just had a foul called on him because the LSU player tried to go around him and stepped out of bounds.  I don't even.
