Defend the Post

Hit 45 to 50% from 3 Point range

Avoid excessive turnovers

TURNOVER MARGIN is 1, 2 and 3

LSU 330th
UK 34th

Everything else can go right, but if we give them a lot of free possessions, it won't even be close.

Essentially: NO STREET BALL

Agree completely. I listen to Coach Brown on the radio this morning with Jordy and he would write the following on the chalk board:

Play Intelligent
Play Hard
Play as a team





2 very important keys to me. Turnovers which we are incredibly terrible at. Some 300+ ranking in college basketball. Kentucky 30 something. Making FT's and again pretty bad at it.

We could play a game like we did against Florida though. Those 2 elements will be the key.

1. Keep Shortess out of foul trouble.

2. Keep Bruce Hornsby from getting bored up in the deaf dome.

3. Get that "T-I-G-E-R-S, TIGERS...Bitch!" chick on the floor immediately.

1. Defense creates turnovers, which leads to lots of dunks.
2. Timely threes and often.
3. Withstand Cats' run by sinking free throws at the end of the game.

Post Hoc Analysis

quote:

1. Rebounding - LSU must control the tempo and force Kentucky into a subpar shooting night. Rebounding is actually the key to tempo control and a necessity to take advantage of poor shooting.


LSU lost the rebounding battle 40-35. No rebound was a bigger killer than the one that preceded the Booker foul shots. In a tight game, it is not a stretch to say that the loss of this battle was a key to the outcome.

quote:

2. Exploit our continuity advantage - one of the disadvantages of Kentucky's depth is that you can frustrate them into bad shots with good defense, and their guys can struggle to get into the flow of a game. While they can and have tired out conference foes, LSU's guys have played big minutes all year. The extended minutes for the Patterson/Quarterman/Hornsby/Mickey/Martin quintet against Bama showed that those guys can shoulder a load for most of the game. I think if our guys are engaged early, it can be an advantage if we can dictate our tempo and control the flow and, consequently, make Kentucky's platoons feel disjointed.


LSU did an excellent job of this in the second half. Calipari intentionally sabotaged his team to send a message, and the Tigers used his hubris to spark a 20 point run that put Kentucky in danger. Aaron Harrison continued to struggle to get in the game. He went 1-8 from the field and scored just 2 points.


quote:

3. LSU MUST keep Kentucky out of the lane if we play as much zone as I suspect we will. Calipari's teams run DDM and the prescription for that ill is a zone. Kentucky normally shoots well from from all over, but you'd rather them take 3s then get their easy DDM dunks and wide open cuts. If our zone looks like last year in Rupp where they score all but like 4 points in the paint, LSU will lose.



Kentucky scored 42 points in the paint. They shot just 16.7% (2-12) from three. The Tigers did a good job most of the game of forcing poor shooting and long threes. Kentucky, unfortunately, got into the paint at the end of the game, and that was the difference.

All in all, LSU executed a great game plan and came within a rebound or a better Hornsby pass from winning the game.
