I’m very sorry to learn of DD (or anyone) dying from Covid, but liking that lineup and not getting vaxxed seem congruent.
Is that guy dead?

Hideous second half. Fun to see them gut out a win in the end though. LaRavia is really good.
Super long shot, but have one extra for tomorrow if anyone wants it. LSU fans will greatly outnumber us.

It’s unfortunate we got our hopes up yet again. Shit program that will never recover.
Alondes put on quite a push at the end. However, long term, it is not a good strategy to lean on one guy beating g his defender possession after possession. The other guys really need to contribute, and be allowed to contribute. Williams was channeling his inner Chill, "Just gimme the ball..."
1st half was the best basketball that wake has played in a decade and second half was comparable to some of the worst. But the gutted out the overtime and won a game that when they lost the lead, I was pretty sure was an L. Say what you will but I think that says a lot about the trajectory of this team.
The second half looked like Manning defense and we only have one guy that played for that clown. It was a layup drill for OSU.
They also made adjustments at half. Stopped shooting from 3, switched up the defense and we seemed like we had no coach on the floor (like the Manning years). Glad we won, glad we looked really good in the first half, but I'm not sold on Forbes as a game coach.
LaRavia said in the postgame presser that players saw shots not falling on offense and let that effect the intensity on the defensive end. LSU is ELITE on defense, so there will droughts on offense at times, but can’t let that dictate the intensity on D. Forbes will have the guys ready for a full 40 minutes tonight.
Forbes is a long game guy, that's for sure.
Sy goes out and Dallas gets in foul trouble so we have to go to Marsh. His upside is huge but he's clearly not ready yet. When things started going south in the 2nd half, if this is a late-season conference or tourney game my guess is you'd have seen more timeouts to break up the runs, throw a zone at them since they couldn't shoot for shit and it would hide Marsh a bit, go to LaRavia at the 5 earlier in the stretches where Walton had to sit. But Forbes was like nah, play through it, defend your man we're not playing a damn zone against Oregon State, let's find out something about ourselves. The 2-man game with LaRavia and Alondes to close it out was pretty strong, albeit far from rocket science.
I suspect that if we'd gotten down by more than a couple buckets we might have seen Forbes relent and throw out some different stuff, but who knows. A win is a win. LSU gonna be tough.
