This may be true, but giving up 16 in the first 6 min of any quarter is terrible. A 32 point quarter will lose you most games especially missing 54 points from our lineup

The best way to turn defense into offense is to create turnovers and run off misses before the defense can get set. That's my point. 16 points in 6+ isn't that bad considering.

Our guys got out of rhythm and shellshocked and couldn't recover. Really had nothing to do with the defense. The defense was pretty decent considering everything going wrong at the time.

A team averages 30-40% from 3. What do teams average in the paint: 40-50%? So yeah regardless of whether we are playing NBA teams or LSU, I take my chances giving up the 3s.



30-40% × 3pt = .9-1.2 points per shot

40-50% x 2pt = .8-1 points per shot
