1. They Dont play team defense. Give up way too many easy baskets.
2. They dont block out. Way too many offensive rebounds.
3. Turnovers. They are careless with the ball.
4. No movement without the ball. Guys stand and watch.
5. Can't shoot free throws. They are free? Who can't shoot a free throw.

few teams can shoot free throws. I find it weird and fascinating.
Many women's teams are better at free throws than the men's team at the same school, whether big 5 or a "AA".

no movement without the ball is just unconscionable.
Means they do not comprehend the basics.
That is on the coach, and their high school coach.

Turnovers is about not caring about others, not giving value to every possession. that goes with no team defense. team defense requires everyone be all-in. Turnovers is just an example of a few people who do not care about anyone but themselves and probably can also be attributed to not really understanding the basics of the game.

LSU is probably still in the top 64. At this point, they would be much better off being in the NIT or the CBI, so they can practice, learn and improve. They would be one game and done, in the NCAAs.
