Live by the 3 and die by the 3. oh well, it was a heck of a ballgame, and it's ashamed that nobody saw it outside of the few thousand in the hump. We just didn't have an answer for Mitchell.

On a bright note, we were cold yet we still went toe to toe with the best team in the SEC. We should have won. I'm excited about the future of this team, but I would like to see us make a SEC tournament run to get into the dance... because that experience is valuable...

Had we tried to rely on the 3 ball tonight we would have been blown out of the gym. We could have won tonight despite our poor shooting. You can thank JV and our free throw shooting for that.

My point was simply that we couldn't hit them, and therefore we died by the 3. I understand we got a ton more inside presence and penetration going tonight, but at the same time, had we hit the 3 somewhat consistently, it wouldn't have been close. We HAVE to hit the 3 ball to win.

Seriously, you could say this for any team then. The bottom line is we could have won without the 3 pt shooting, so the live and die by the 3 is ******** for this game. Hell, Varnado hits his free throw and this games over in regulation. We had a shot in the 2nd overtime to win and just couldn't hit it.

NO WE DON'T.... We proved that tonite. Hell if Lsu doesn't shoot 50% from 3's, we win tonite. They shot extremely well and we shot like ****, and yet we still could have won the game. Also, how many point blank shots did we miss tonite? I know I at least heard 10.... Hell, Bost had 4 or 5 by himself.

they knew they werent shooting it well. they took a low number in regulation. I would guess around 16 which is relatively low for the season. so we didn't die by it, that would be if we shot 30 and only make 5. that would be dying by it.
