LSU defends the 3 as if there is a land mine that will blow up if they extend over the 3-point line. That may be ok sometimes, but when a team gets obviously hot and you just need a stop or two to secure the game, you have to go beyond the line and stick on them like glue with hands up to mess up any attempt. LSU does not do this and they need some adjustments there. It was like we wanted to defend the 3, but only to an extent. And Auburn took that and ran.

Here's another element to poor 3 point defense - we start 3 true forwards, 6'6 Days, 6'6 Williams, 6'9 Watford. None of them have any business guarding a guard who can dribble drive or shoot the 3, yet we get into that situation a lot because a ton of teams basically play 3 guard lineups and we dont. Not to mention Smart is simply not adept to defending well at the arc either. So, we many many time have 4 guys on the floor who arent necessarily guys you want defending the arc.

The heavy forward lineup gives us advantages on the offensive end though. So give and take some there.
