SEC Team 3 point shooting % - NCAA Rankings & what they shot vs. LSU

In the last 5 games every team LSU has played has shot above their season average as well. Three of the five shot atleast 10% above their season average.

Added South Carolina

So Auburn shoots 41% and Kentucky shoots 50% and yet we are still in a dog fight with both of those teams.

It tells me that if we get healthy, develop some depth, and defend the three better, we have the ability to make a deep post-season run.

Trending ain’t pretending

The reason LSU was in a dog fight with both is because despite the horrendous defense, LSU is an elite offensive team.

As far as health and depth, we're 27 games into the season. The depth is what it is and they aren't going to be able to get much "healthier". EVERY team is beat up by this point in the season. The question is can this team become 20% better defensively from this point on? That's about the max amount of improvement you can ask for.

LSU held USC to their lowest FG% in a month and their lowest FG% at home in SEC play this season. That INCLUDES the run late that LSU allowed. We got a glimpse of what this team can do when they defend just a little bit. LSU had a 19 point lead with 5:00 to go vs a team who hadn't lost at home in nearly two months.

Now, can they bring that same effort vs. UF, who is a much, MUCH better offensive team than USC?

I would count it as 6 approximately at season average or below, and 8 significantly above.

So pretty close to 50/50 then huh? And take out the USCEe number since I made my comment BEFORE THEN and it’s not so crazy huh?

I think part of the problem is teams go into the game with a ton of confidence knowing we give up high 3pt %. And then that manifests into them shooting well. It’s like a self fulfilling prophesy.

I'd be interested to know how many times Kentucky and/or Tennessee have shot 50 percent from 3 against an SEC team.

Added Florida. Despite shooting horribly in the 1st half, their 43% 3 point shooting performance moved them up a good bit on the list.

Coming into the game Florida was shooting 34.2% from 3. So its another game where we allowed the opponent to shoot nearly 10 percentage points above their average.
