No, it isn't. I remember Kansas coming in to play LSU when Chris Jackson was a frosh, and we lost by a bucket. I think it was Roy Williams' 1st yr there, and it was before SEC play. They absolutely tore us up with their motion offense; and this wasn't an uber-talented team. They were just well coached- there were probably 3 crisp perimeter passes to start every possession, and they pulled us out of position. you could tell it was drilled into their heads "no dribbling, move the ball fast". The ball would go to both wings and 1 corner and back to the point again before there was a dribble, most of the time- and it seemed like it took less than 10 secs to do that.

This LSU team has no semblance of an offense. A guy gets the ball, he fakes, dribbles around, and launches a shot. Or he dribbles and backs out for around 5 secs, then throws a pass to someone else who then dribbles around and throws up a low % shot.
