Last season, the LSU men's basketball struggled on defense.
The Tigers allowed 83.0 points per game finishing 335th in the NCAA in scoring defense and allowed teams to shoot 47.2 percent from the field which was 326th in the country. Teams also shot 38.3 percent from beyond the arc, a mark that was 325th overall.
New Tigers coach Will Wade has made defense a priority this season and it's something LSU has been focusing on throughout the summer and in fall practice.
"We're still working on shoring up our defense," Wade told reporters during Media Day on Tuesday afternoon.
