How about free throws too. Free throws will cost LSU at least 1 game in either SEC-T or March Madness or Both?

No. We only practice throwing the ball back and forward

This team has zero chance of winning the SEC tournament and will not make it past round two in March.

Im afraid you’re right. IF they get a good matchup in the early regional they may get to the 2nd round but anything past that is a stretch to expect from this inconsistent squad!

This is what I've been screaming! It's like they just started playing last week instead of all their lives. I could do about as good and I'm 65!

Top 32 without arguably our best player out for the season. Such a tragedy...

We definitely don't practice shooting pregame.

Warmups consist of tossing a few basketballs around and a 10 minute smoke machine/light show.

If we're lucky we might get 6 points the first 10 minutes of the game.

Murray is 17 of his last 35 on 3's so he's been practicing. Eason has been better of late shooting.

But Days just can't get it going with any regularity and that has been disappointing. Pinson is never going to be anything but a mediocre shooter. Mwani is money on the corner 3 and he's shooting 44% from 3 on the year but he shoots about twice a game.

So it's not quite as bad as this thread would suggest but it's not good enough. The free throws are really more of a issue for me, it's been pretty consistently less than stellar all year.

Do you think LSU is the only team that does this?

You do realize LSU is in the upper half of the SEC in FG%? 6th out of 14 teams. Right behind Alabama.

They are also 4th in the league in 3 pt percentage.
