re: LSU Basketball FAIL

A team that averages 5 threes a game went off on us last night. Most of their attempts were uncontested. Shocking revelation: SEC caliber players will make uncontested 3's. No excuse for that many uncontested 3's. We don't seem to understand defensive rotation and we aren't very good at getting through off ball screens. These two lack of fundamentals derive from one or both of two things, lack preparation and lack of effort. Finally, our reliance on the 2-3 zone is pretty embarrassing. A 2-3 zone is only effective if you have a lot of length on the top (see Syracuse), we don't. Rolling out a 2-3 may have been effective in the sunbelt, but it's not getting the job done in the SEC.

Jones is a great recruiter, but if he doesn't get some X and O's help, his tenure may be short.
