"LSU is playing sloppy basketball": Sam Jay breaks down why Angel Reese's team isn't better than Dawn Staley's South Carolina

With Angel Reese's LSU and the South Carolina Gamecocks set to tip off their Sweet 16 tomorrow, analysts have weighed in on the two teams' prospects in March Madness.

LSU will meet UCLA, and the undefeated South Carolina will battle against the Indiana Hoosiers.

On the "7PM in Brooklyn" show, Carmelo Anthony and Kid Mero were joined by Sam Jay as they discussed LSU and South Carolina.

Jay criticized Reese and LSU, saying the team has been sloppy in recent weeks and has made poor decisions on the court.

"For me personally, LSU is playing sloppy basketball; they're not the same team they used to be. I think Reese is way too confident, her decision-making, I hate to say it, it's terrible; she takes the wildest shots, shots from behind like, why are you shooting now, right in this moment. They don't seem to have composure, when it is necessary to have composure."

Jay then praised Dawn Staley's South Carolina Gamecocks, pointing out how efficient they've been in all aspects of the game.

"The Gamecocks are just an efficient team on all cylinders, and I just don't see it. You know these wins LSU's been having, it's like y'all just made it," Jay said. "They seem like a team that is distracted in my opinion and they have too much going on."

Angel Reese facing criticism for her decision-making skills

Angel Reese's LSU is on a quest to repeat as champion, but the 'Bayou Barbie' has copped criticism for her decision-making skills in March Madness.

In the game against the Blue Raiders with LSU trailing at halftime, ESPN analysts Andreya Carter and Rebecca Lobo broke down a few poor decisions by Reese.

“LSU has to make better decisions offensively. And Angel Reese, 3-of-10 from the field," Carter said via On3. "I know they’re being physical with her, but she’s not making good decisions. She comes down the court, full court, and misses the layup."

According to Carter, Reese was one of the players who needed to get better in the subsequent rounds. To her credit, Reese did make a strong comeback and finished the game with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
