Marquette went uncharacteristly ice cold in the first half. I mean they went like 8 minutes without a field goal.


You already know the reason why: "I like how well our defense is playing". LSU has done this consistently now. It's plain that this is a defensive-oriented team.

Trent's game-plan for the season is to play great defense and shoot free throws. What was impressive to me was that LSU won despite accomplishing only half of that. And down a man to boot.

This, and the fact that Marquette was up 13-0 in the first 3 minutes of the game. Hell if LSU knocks down half of the free throws they missed, we win by double digits. Not to mention we out rebounded them 35-32. This was no fluke.

Playing good defense is one thing but a team going 8 minutes without a bucket is a tad lucky as well.
