Print this if you will. LSU,s men,s basketball team is done for a few years. With sanctions coming, probation np doubt, the draft, transfer portal, players leaving, a defense that gives away too many easy baskets, recruits de-committing, Pinson playing like he was a freshman, dribble, dribble, no movement, open shots, no one within 15 ft of the shooter.LSU stunk in it,s final game for 2022! That’s the facts! Terrible! Hpefully Woodward can bring in an excellent coach!
