Chase wrote an article last week that got some good pub. I need to get the college version off my chest:
PG: Bo Spencer, LSU
SG: Garrett Temple, LSU
SF: Marcus Thornton, LSU
PF: Tasmin Mitchell, LSU
C: Chris Johnson, LSU
Coach: Trent Johnson, LSU
The entire LSU team deserves this award after the lame performance they put on against North Carolina last Saturday. I’m not saying that the LSU starting five make the team because they lost to the Tar Heels, I’m saying they’re all a bunch of sissies because no one accidentally stepped on Ty Lawson’s toe.
How can you not step on Ty Lawson’s toe? I’ll tell you how: by having no heart. LSU is just not championship material. They have no mettle. What other explanation is there? Ty Lawson, maybe the most important player to his team in the NCAA tournament, has been sitting out for a while with a toe injury. He comes back just in time to punk LSU for 21 second half points, and no one kicks his toe? Freaking ridiculous! Trent Johnson clearly doesn’t have what it takes to succeed as a coach at this level. Even John Chaney knew the importance of sending in the goons once in a while.
I’m not saying that Marcus Thornton should have put Lawson in a triangle choke; just shuffle your feet on D and inadvertently kick Lawson’s toe. It’s that simple. If you want to win an NCAA Championship you’ve got to do what it takes, even if that means you take out the other team’s best player. LSU has no guts, no heart, no glory (I put this picture here because I'm not sure if it's the men or women playing - with LSU it makes no difference). Can someone please sprout a pair and do what it takes to win the game? What a bunch of sissies.
LSU could learn a thing or two about playing to win from Morgan State. No one thought they would beat Oklahoma, but at least they attempted to take out Blake Griffin with a judo flip. Now that’s effort and that is what champions are made of. You go for the jugular. Not this weak crap that LSU trots out and masquerades as a Division-I college basketball starting five. Come on, even Clay Aiken thinks you guys are weak.
