re: So you think LSU is a poor FT shooting team

According to this LINK LSU is 201 out of 345.
That's NOT terrible, but it is below average.
The frustrating thing is that it's one aspect that is very "fixable" and when your team has problems finishing out close games it should be the first thing you address.
FT shooting doesn't take talent only practice.
Kentucky and Arkansas both have multiple players in the top 250 for ft shooting percentage (LSU has none), and they both finished in the top 80 as a team.
If LSU were in the same boat, they'd be somewhere around 29-6 and looking forward to Saturday.

To a point that may be true, Yet, there are teams ranked much higher in FT shooting that don't do other things as well as LSU and have a worse record. For instance Alabama is an 80% FT team and they are not in post season and just fired their coach.
Except for Mickey and Gray the rest of the team is 70% or better so it cannot be a system wide thing.
What is strange is that both Gray and Anthony Hickey the past few seasons were about 55% so maybe it is a point guard thing, a position where usually it is one of the best FT shooting position.
