Final MBB Louisiana: 62, Arkansas State 79

We pass up shots too often and end up getting less possessions.. Don't know if they would fall , but the only way to address poor shooting beside shooting better is to shoot more shots.

I absolutely disagree with this as its inaccurate. Don't know if you saw but we shot 26 more shots than ASU. We did exactly what you are calling to do. The issue is that all of our main scorers are guards or smaller wing players. We have to try to break down defenders and score 1v1 which is tough when the defensive players are bigger and perhaps more athletic.

There were times where ASU made a sequence of passes where there wasn't one dribble and the ball ended up in a wide open shooter's hands for an easy basket. Efficiency is what you want, not pure quantity of shots.

Our transition game after turnovers isn't very good. I remember around 2005 when a turnover meant we was getting a slam dunk

Not very good is a relatively kind way to describe our problems scoring after forcing turnovers. I would call it poor. Another issue is only 3 guys are scoring and they appear to be wearing down. Another threat would help their defensive problems as well as you can set up when opponent has to take the ball out from under the basket. Joshua Lewis injury impact showing now. When teams play zone he could hit a shot from the top of the key which is often a soft spot in a zone.
