With the type defense Wade runs players new to his system will experience a learning period. This UNCG team isn't a bunch of scrubs and they hit 3's all over the place. This defense depends on players playing passing lanes and rotating. When a team is moving the ball like they did players need to anticipate where the open man is and move before the ball gets to him. LSU players were late on picking up the open man and UNCG was hitting a high percentage of their 3's. With time and experience LSU's players will learn and rotate quicker. What impressed me about LSU was with UNCG hitting 3's like they were LSU did things to overcome and win. This UNCG team is a very good veteran team and the nucleus of this team has been together for a couple years. LSU will get better and better as the season progresses.
