My original point was that this was PSU's gameplan, and we're just gonna play right into it. Less of a critique on DMW's shooting and more on the uninspired offensive gameplan/lack of adjustments. Playing right into the opponents gameplan is how we ended up out of the tournament in the first weekend last year.

I get it, but I don’t think any basketball game is truly that black and white. DMW shooting isn’t why we are struggling, which points more to a bad game plan by psu and us trying to avoid playing into it.

Everyone calm down. This is what we call a trap game, we all should have expected this.


And yes, I’m kidding.

And EVERY ONE has been a practice shot. Gotta hit 60%+

Did you really just suggest that if someone isn’t hitting 60+% from 3 they aren’t good enough to keep shooting?

Open or not - a shot is a shot. If it’s a contested 3 by Trent or a wide open 3 by Damonte it’s still 3 points if it goes in and 0 if it misses. Absolutely no reason to suggest passing up open shots because he’s not hitting 60% from 3. If he was hitting 60%+ they wouldn’t be leaving him open…1.2 points per possession is damn good by any measure.

Micah Shewberry comes from the Brad Stevens/Butler/ Celtics coaching tree. He was Butlers recruiting Ace! If I were Maryland, I'd poach this young Coach quick this off season.

PSU taking all the air out of the ball... Brad going to have to give "all credit to them" for that.
