The lack of FT shooting certainly doesn't help, but if you want to find LSU's Achilles heel look no farther than these numbers:
Kenpom efficiency ratings:
Adjusted Offensive efficiency national rank: 27 of 351 (2nd in SEC)
Adjusted Defensive efficiency national rank: 135 of 351 (11th in the SEC only ahead of Auburn, Mizzou and Tenn.)
There are going to be nights where the ball just doesn't go down on offense. Last night was one of those nights. However, you can overcome those nights and grind out wins if you can keep the opponent from scoring. LSU can't. If this team was even just marginally better on defense, they find a way to win the game last night (even with the FT woes). If you are horrible on defense though (and LSU is) you rarely can afford to have a bad night on offense

Alt, you hit on it in the other thread, this team plays gambling D. Looks good when it works. But more times than naught it leads to easy layups or wide open looks.
