If you want a one sentence summation of what happened against LSU I would go with this: Cam Thomas scored 29 points on just 13 shots, while Mizzou needed 34 free throw attempts just to keep pace.
In a game marred by whistles, Mizzou’s free throw attempts just weren’t enough to overcome their struggles from the floor when you added in how efficient Cam Thomas was.
LSU basically works like this: they’re going to score points and give up points. How you beat them is by limiting their fourth scorer and trying to make Thomas as inefficient as you can make him.
