LSU Tigers
LSU shoots a shade under fifty percent, the 22nd-best such percentage in the country. The Tigers’ has been the strong point but they have a defense that forces turnovers, too. Eighty-Seven steals as a team is in the top-20, nationally.

LSU has just two losses and they came in back-to-back games over a Thanksgiving tournament on a neutral floor. The first was a three-point loss to a very good Florida State team an the other was a thirteen-point defeat to Oklahoma State.
Four guys score in double-figures, including a pair of freshman: 6’4″ guard Ja’vonte Smart and 6’10” forward Naz Reid. Reid was a top-20 prospect in the class of 2018 and can do a little of everything offensively. He needs to improve as a rebounder, though. Five per game isn’t good enough for a young man of his size.
Houston Cougars
But Houston hasn’t won a game and it also boasts one of the very best outside shooters in the entire country with leading-scorer Armoni Brooks.
The 6’4″ junior guard rebounds more than LSU’s Reid at over six per game and is absolutely lethal from downtown, where he hits on nearly forty-six percent of his nine three-point attempts per game.

Corey Davis Jr. averages an identical 16.5 points per game as Brooks but he shoots too many threes. Either that, or he’s just struggling in the short-term. Davis is taking nearly as many as Brooks (8.3 per game) but he’s hitting just thirty-two percent.
If he cuts down on his threes, he’ll become a far more efficient player. He shoots about fifty-four percent from inside.
