The little 3 graphic that Peacock flashes on the scorebug when a team hits one is kind of adorably ridiculous.

Just got home. Not impressed with the first half at all. We are a team of 3 ball chuckers and not very good at it. These 2 opponents we have played we should have dominated if nothing else except our height advantage. Ty Rogers would have been attacking. I miss him. We better either get more efficient at 3 ball shooting or we are in for a long season. We won't get away with this in Big Ten competition. Plus it would be nice to make a high percentage of free throws. Sorry for the rant but not pleased with what I've seen so far.

Tough to call the players chuckers when shooting a ton of 3s is exactly what they're being coached to do.

Second place is 1st loser

Hate to tell you but you will hate this team all year then. They are going to shoot a ton of 3s. I personally didn’t think there were many bad 3 attempts in the first half. It’s why we recruited shooters.

The problem with the style is that when you're on the road, the crowd's going nuts and you need a hoop....if you're relying on the three, you're going to get blown out of a lot of gyms unless 45% is the norm.

Who's going to be the guy they go to when they NEED a hoop to stop a run?

Boswell has forced a couple, other than that, this is what the offense is designed to create.

Would Ty be attacking? He took over 8 shots exactly twice in his career… both against Michigan.

Morez is a beast.

Have not seen much to excite from Booth

Boswell definitely still trying to find some rhythm

Do you think it's good to shoot 56.9% from two?

That's effectively what we're shooting from 3. We're actually pretty dang good at it.
