LSU moved to 9-0 on the season Saturday as they defeated Georgia Tech by a score of 69-53.
It wasn’t the prettiest win, but it was a win nonetheless. Let’s take a look at some observations from the win.
LSU’s lack of shooting becoming a concern
LSU was just 3-19 from deep in this game. They now rank 254th in 3-point shooting efficiency on the year. It’s the most glaring weakness on this team.
Illinois transfer Adam Miller was supposed to play the role of the sharpshooter, but LSU has not been able to find someone else to step up after Miller tore his ACL before the season.
Nobody on LSU has shot more 3’s than Darius Days this year. Against Georgia Tech, Days was just 1-7 from long range.
LSU’s defense and athleticism have allowed them to cover up any wounds a lack of shooting would create, but there will eventually be a game where things don’t come so easy and they will have to make some 3’s to win.
