LSU Gameplan: Run

LSU has decided its going to try to run with Carolina. They're basing their strategy on tapes from UNC's 85-78 loss to BC, in which Tyrese Rice played extremely well and could seemingly score at will. But the real story of that game, in my opinion, was NOT Tyrese Rice; it was Carolina's abysmal 38.4% field goal shooting, and 31.8% 3 point field goal shooting. Every player besides Ed Davis shot below 50%. It's not often all the Heels are playing so terribly at once, so apparently, LSU's strategy is to pray Carolina misses shots. Which, with the way they've been playing, doesn't seem likely. This seems to be a common strategy for out of conference teams playing Carolina, and it hasn't been effective this year. At the very least, it'll make for a fast paced, exciting game.
