That may have been the most impressive 3 point shooting team I have seen....and most were contested to some extent. Last year, we lose this game. Tonight, we hit about 90% of free throws which made the difference. Our team looks GREAT!! Unlike past years, I feel no let off when our subs come in. We got a ton of mfers who can play! Gonna be a fun year!!!

We had 100% free throw shooting until about 2 minutes left on the clock. Very impressive!

Will wade is amazing.. I. The press conference after the southeastern game when talking about the kid hitting all those threes.. “i know the fans loved that but we were embarrassed, if they think that is impressive just wait until those cats from unc Greensboro come in, they’ll put on a show”

He was right... once again. Great win

It absolutely did because the other team, on the contrary, shot worse from the stripe than they did 3pt land.

LSU made 28 FT's. UNC-G made 4 FT's. FT's were definitely the difference.

Nobody is jumping to those conclusions but you right now. That team played lights out and would have beat numerous ranked teams tonight. Watch the game next time before you make stupid comments.

It's early.. What does it matter? We won.


Michigan lost to us last year and made a tourney run.

I am sure we are ranked for a reason..

Any ways, I like to at least make the tournament first. Not concerned about calling for a run.

Just saying "we are going to make a run this year" has been circulating amongst the rant a lot lately. Maybe not on this thread but people have certainly been talking about it

We were in control the whole game. It was never in doubt.

UNCG is a tourney team.... and we are starting 3 freshman and 5 newcomers play in our rotation and we were in control the whole game against a team that could win 28-30 games? Our one and done looks to be superstar just dropped 29 and was extremely efficient....so yeah we are making a run

Yeah, they're a pretty shitty team... other than average 26 wins the past two seasons and taking Gonzaga to the wire in the tourney last year, they haven't done shite. What a cupcake team.

Dumbass.

They shot FT’s well last year too. That and rebounding won LSU the game because they were absolutely atrocious guarding the 3, which was a BIG problem last year.

UNCG is a good team. And you give LSU a bit of a pass because they are playing so many new guys. But this team can’t have poor defensive games like that against SEC caliber teams if they want to accomplish big things.

Scoring wasn’t a problem last year. There are too many gifted players this year for it to be a problem. But, defense is going to determine how far this team goes. Last night was a disappointment in that dept.

When can you remember a LSU basketball team winning a game on free throws. I am not talking a couple of shots at the end. We are talking making free throws over the course of the entire game. This is a impressive team that will only get better.

Teams don’t generally make 19 threes a game. You just have to tip your hat to that kind of shooting. That’s pretty remarkable. Just making 15 instead of 19 completely changes the outcome. Some of those 3’s were contested and they still dropped them
