top 2 defensive teams on kenpom. both defend the 3 most valuable shots well: at the rim, behind the perimeter and transition. Both use their athleticism and speed to overwhelm opponents forcing low percentage shots. this is the success of will wade. and apparently rick barnes. The difference will likely be in the amount of 3s taken as UT likes to go but LSU defends the 3 well (10th). both rank 200+ in 3p% but above 30% so not terrible. Looking over the stats these teams are very similar. I watched tennessee struggle vs ole miss but im guessing we get their best here. they have the talent to win the conference imo but are overlooked with uk and auburn and lsu and alabama and florida. but i also had alabama as a top team who just lost to missouri. i refuse to jinx us with a prediction. big test here. probably gonna be a sweat.
42-35 at half. 13 fouls to 6, feels worse than that. 6/10 3s. Haven’t been able to pull away from Tennessee.
you have to be ecstatic with this effort on both sides. we are embarrassing them. best effort all year. wade gets the sean payton treatment from the refs. no sweat here in spite of them.
He came back out to sit on the bench so hopefully he’s ok. 79-67, big win for LSU. Athleticism off the charts.
deaf dome is back. i dont remember it being that loud since daddy dale. so we are good in every sport but football. who knew.
Deaf dome! WW is doing it. Glad we didn’t puss out when the NCAA came sniffing. Alleva all but did, glad that wart is gone.
