When we are short handed down low, we have to make some open threes. Period. Yes, TOs and passing and other issues can be addressed to make up for cold shooting. But good teams can’t shoot 7% from three, and that’s the end of it. These are open shots.

I get it man, we are decent from 2 right now and they have 9 teams fouls with 4 left in the first half. Attack them and let the patient 3’s come off of a few passes.

Our offense is so easy to guard. Stay in front of your man and force us to shoot 3s… we are already starting the dumb one-on-one play and just moving fast but not executing anything.

Why can’t this team compete with the bottom of the BIG ?

You know what, maybe we should go back to getting mostly upperclassmen and grad transfers. Doesn’t matter how talented your young guys are, immaturity is just too hard to overcome

Good teams don't play down. We are just not a good shooting team. We are even worse at shot selection.

I agree we shouldn’t settle for threes, but if we can’t be counted on to make wide open ones, it severely limits our opportunities for shots closer to the rim.

This team is doing its best to cement its legacy as 2023 Squad 2.0 tonight. 😞
