Yeah ok.

You're acting like LSU is a SWAC team.

I also feel like you haven't watched the tournament.

Let's look at some games:

Oral Roberts beats OSU and makes 11 3's...they were 11 for 35
Oral Roberts beats UF and makes 10 3's...they were 10 for 30

In one game they shot 33% and the other 31%...those are not very good averages and normally you don't win shooting that amount of volume.

Abilene Christian shoots 3 of 18 from 3 and beats Texas

North Texas shoots 9 or 21 from 3, but shoots 42%

Ohio was 7 of 23 for 30.4%

Loyola Chicago was 4 for 10 from 3 against Illinois

Oregon State was 6 for 20 against Oklahoma State

So again

Watch the 3 point stat on almost all of these upsets so far in the tourney.

No. People play their own game. LSU is a decent 3 point shooting team, but it's about defense, offensive rebounds, and sharing the ball. If LSU can shoot a decent percentage the "amount" of makes don't matter at all. You're literally saying LSU HAS to shoot 50% from 3

Do you realize how asinine that is?
