re: Terrible Outside Shooting

This team isn't going far anyway in the tournament because as soon as they have to rely on outside shooting, the offense just falls apart. We have the inside game, but without a complimentary outside game, it is too easy to stop LSU's offense.
The last 5 minutes of close games is when everything bogs down because cannot shoot consistently. Hornsby shooting off balance 3's that clang off the rim doesn't help.
LSU needs shooters.
And the opponent is able to get baseline to the basket WAY to easily on a regular basis. Not having a true center hurts us
contested threes aren't high probability shots and we settle for them more often than not. Our guards rarely attack and get the ball to the basket or try to draw fouls. Our team shouldnt be trying to drain threes to close out a game they should get the ball into the paint. That's what Texas A&M did every possession while we launched prayers.

This is how you win games.

This is true.... But you have to want the ball. Those 2 get thrown around like tag dolls in the paint.
Other thing is Hornsby was what 3-4 on 3s with 8-10 min left in the first half... Dude didn't touch the ball again with a chance to shoot until the 2nd half was half way over. Why not feed the hot hand?
Mickey gets abused against someone with some weight quit giving it to him when he is ineffective
