Isn’t Marshall Graves supposed to be a 3pt specialist?

I’m watching the Pels game on my iPad and saw an air ball by a professional basketball player at home.

But yeah you’re right- if you don’t know shite about basketball and never watch it - it’s unheard of.

fricking clown show

It's not uncommon at all. But yes, the 3-point shooting in the 1st half was as bad as I've ever seen LSU in a half.

Missouri had at least 2 on the same side of the court. 3 pt line is probably wavy on that side.

Someone with a lot of free time on their hand could probably do a statistical analysis, but it seems that LSU shoots the three far worse at home than on the road. And they shoot it better in small arenas vs. larger ones. They had a good (for this team) shooting night vs. AU. They torched Utah St. in the first half of that game in was was essentially a hotel ball room converted to a basketball arena.

If you've ever played basketball you know that depth perception can play a big role in shooting. It's why teams that reach the Final Four played in huge football stadiums sometimes struggle finding their outside shot. LSU practices mostly in their (relatively) small practice facility. Then they go to the PMAC which has a lot of open space behind the goals. Perhaps the depth perception is thrown off. (Of course, other teams don't seem to have a problem)

Just a thought?
