LSU Matt McMahon’s chief coach

Introductory statement …

“Obviously congratulations on Texas on their implementation of the second half. Incredibly disappointed that we were unable to respond better to get out of the break. In the first half, insulting, we fought, but I thought in defense that we were harvested. We forced some difficult pictures. We are right in a game with six points coming out of the break. And then only the turnover once again, which led to some easy results for them in the transition, which received the lead to 10. And then I decided that their offensive performance was elite and their preparation was fantastic and we were unable to respond or in defensive or in Our offensive end to the floor. ”

Regarding LSU performance for recovery …

“In the offensive glass we did not exist. There were many missed shots to pursue. We only have four there. I think this talks about the energy we played on the glass there. We have given up a defensive 10 options for a second chance. There were not many missed in the second half, so there were not many defense defense opportunities when you take the ball out of the net every trip. ”

In his message after the game to the team …

“I just apologized for not being ready to play, especially in the second half. Just disappointed. You know, you are watching the last four games that I really thought we had made great progress. The victory here against Arkansas, the competitiveness and the match in A&M, in Alabama, and then against the Pran here at home. And then you really take these steps back in the second half is disappointing. This is my responsibility. I was not ready to go and start working and understand some ways to repair it. ”
