re: LSU MBB Free Throw Stats as Compared to the SEC

Fans of a particular team are so focused on the flaws they perceive of that team that they fail to pay attention to the flaws that other teams have. I suggest that all of our fans take time to watch a game where they don't pull for either team. I guarantee that they will realize that basketball players from all teams make similiar mistakes, given the way that games are played, today.

Still, knowing some of our fans, LSU could be leading the SEC in FT% and there would still be loud complaints about how terrible they are in FT shooting. As you can see in some posts following the OPs, some suggest that we are terrible at FT in the clutch. If there were some way to calculate percentages of FTs missed in the last 3 to 5 intues of a game, I would be willing to bet that LSU falls around the same place that we fall in the stats, overall (5th).
