Yale is an uptempo team ranking 57th in the country in time of possession plus its strength is offense, with the 11th most-effective FG shooting team in the country, hitting 3's at a 37 percent rate. The defense is another story, ranking 148th in points per possession allowed mainly because it never gets a turnover and has a hard time keeping opponents off of the offensive boards. LSU is the No. 5 offensive rebounding team in the nation and should have a field day on second shots. LSU pressures on defense creating teams to shoot quick which will be on problem for Yale. LSU does not shoot the three well but does take the ball to the basket for layups and trips to the free throw line where they do knock down the freebies.
