We lost the game at the line big time in our own gym. We went 16-23 for 69.6% to their 19-22 86.4%.

I said in the game thread earlier that we had to shoot 75% from the line to win tonight. I wish I wasn't right. Should not have lost that game.

Two of our better FT shooters missed the majority of the shots too!

We’ve shot FT’s pretty good all year and pocked a bad night to miss several.

Why can they look at the tape to see if the shot got off in time but they can't look at it to see if the ball was still in the cylinder when he tipped it? I know the announcers said the ball was not on the rim but the replays showed it was still above the hoop. Are they blind?

Lost the game at the FT line and unable to stop Waters off the dribble drive and defend the 3. Unfortunately, this is the 2nd game in a row we have played a poor 2nd half. It does not bode well going forward. LSU has not played TN yet. Cal didn't fix the problems from Saturday's play either. Our back's are against the wall. Go CATS!

We should've had the ball for the last shot to win the game. Travis throwing that rebound away just killed us. Then on the final LSU drive PJ just lollygagged and tried to block the shot from the side/behind rather than stepping in and playing defense. I guess having 4 fouls made him timid.

4 fouls shouldn't make you timid with 6 seconds to go. Even if you are thinking overtime. The problem was that we had 2 guys come to help, when only one needed to. That left the 2 LSU guys wide open for the tip. Hopefully we can play our best game and beat Tenn.

We shot 70% FT. Even if we shot 75%, that would have only added 1 point. Yes, LSU shot a crazy 86% FT. We lost the game by not coming out strong (again) in the second half when we had a decent lead.
