THE LSU PHILOSOPHY - GET THE BALL INSIDE

At LSU, our offensive philosophy is simple — GET THE BALL INSIDE! It doesn't necessarily mean that we have to shoot from the lane. We can use the paint touch to set up the perimeter shot and in face, it's still the best way to set up a three-point shot. Now there are a variety of ways we can do this, such as:

Beat the other team down the floor in transition.
Pass the ball inside to one of our post players.
Pass the ball inside to one of our perimeter players that may be posting.
Pass the ball to a player cutting to the basket.
Take the ball to the basket off the dribble.
Grab an offensive rebound.
