Most plays show up in the stat sheet.
Offensive rebounds? LSU had 22 of those on Saturday against Auburn, leading to 29 second chance points.
Turnovers? LSU forced 19 of those and turned them into 31 points.
Other plays, usually the most important ones, aren’t quantifiable. Yes, the game-tying attempt from three hoisted by Auburn’s Jared Harper – who’d already sunk five of his team’s 16 makes on the day – shows up in the box score as a miss.
What doesn’t show up, though, is who was guarding him, and, critically, how he knew exactly what Harper was about to do.
