Ole Miss Drops Road Contest to LSU

Jan. 29, 2015

Head Coach Matt Insell

Opening Statementâ€¦
"In this game, we did not play very well. All credit to LSU, they played really well tonight and took us out of some things. We got really stagnant against their zone and let our inability to make shots affect us. We have to learn from this. We have a young basketball team, and we knew going into this season that we would have really good days and some really bad days. We've had a lot more good days than we've had bad days when you're talking about eight newcomers on the roster. They're learning, they're getting better each and every day and we'll learn from this. We'll go back to the drawing board and figure out the next one. LSU played really well tonight, a true credit to Nikki Caldwell and her staff for having their team ready to go."

On Ole Miss' lack of offensive production â€¦
"We got every shot in the first half we wanted besides when we turned it over. We just didn't make any shots. That's all it boils down to. We haven't had a lot of pop in the last three or four games. Luckily, we beat a good Georgia team without having a lot of pop but when you go on the road against a good LSU team, you've got to have some pop. We just didn't make the shots. At halftime, I was really frustrated with our team because we had 36 shot attempts and were 0-for-12 from three. Every three-pointer was wide open, and we passed up three or four more. You've got kids that have been shooting the ball really well, and they're just not making them. Their (LSU) defense had a little bit to do with that, but we've got to step up. We've got to have some toughness about us and step up and make some shots. We've got to continue to put our kids in good situations where they can make shots, and they've got to get real tough and start making them."
