re: Tigers DEFENSE was encouraging down the stretch + free throws

LSU actually played great defense down the stretch against AtM and got multiple stops when it counted.

I think what we say yesterday defensively is what we've seen most of the year. LSU can play good defense when we are focused committed. We'll put a couple of good defensive trips up and it's like we say "there, told you we could" then we let up and give up a couple of straight line drives to the goal or forget to properly rotate and give up a wide open shot.

Now free throw shooting, man if we shot like that at South Carolina we'd have been up late instead of behind and the game takes on a whole new complexion.

How about Craig Victor. He's gone from that 1-10 start to maybe our best free throw shooter of late.

Great start, great finish, some uneven play in between and too many missed layups but found a way to win.

Let's finish strong Tigers!
