But, even when a team plays mediocre defense, it's rare a college basketball team will still start off so hot.

this hasn't been mediocre defense. it's well below average. it's not a coincidence that two nights in a row teams are exploring LSU through screens and pick and rolls. LSU's rotations are poor right now. which will be fixed over time, it's not on Wade necessarily.

when teams are expecting to get open looks, it's a lot easier to hit them, as opposed to teams facing good defenses where even if they get open shots, they're expecting people in their face. marquette isn't even expecting hands in the face right now.
