Some people are born into it.Speaking as a non-grad, former ‘Townie’ and +/- 50-yr fan: I am knee-deep in umbrage right now…
Me too. Did you grow up in CU?
Agree to disagree for our team this year. We are 8th in the conference in 3 pt % yet we've taken the second most after Penn St. Penn St shoots them at a 39% clip to our 32%. We are shooting 55% on 2 pt fg's, second in the league to Indiana's 56%.
Came back to say just that. Even average 3pt shooting and this would've been a twenty point win. Defense and hustle.
I went to Illinois Wesleyan but I watched the Illini on TV for years before I went there. Even when I lived overseas I would rush to get the Herald Tribune to see how Illinois (and the Cardinals) did. Long before the internet obviously. Lol
I did most of my growing outside of Danville.
Brad’s dilemma seems to be that they stroke it at (dare I say) an elite level in practice, but for whatever reason, it’s not translating when the bright lights are turned on.

Negative: Missed bunnies or not finishing through contactView attachment 23105
Negatives: Scoring Droughts, Not Running Good Offense At Times, Taking too many 3’s out of the flow of the offense, Some guys…not enough touches
* Foul Shooting was much improved
Overall though…I feel pretty good.
I was gonna say, it seemed like RJ defense made a huge difference in this game, particularly in the 1st half. He , Sencire, and Rogers take the defensive intensity up 12 notched when they are in. And it helps the team magnificently.
RJ was all over whoever he was guarding.
No one shot the ball well in this one. We were 40% from the field and 17% from deep.
He's getting great looks too. They will start falling and once they do...
Yeah… he’s talking about getting an early lead, not about three point shots in general. The early lead was the fools gold. The threes were, on this particular night, just the method for getting it."Kansas University’s basketball team, which lost its first Big 12 game of the season Tuesday night, 74-63, actually led, 14-9, early in Tuesday’s loss at West Virginia, thanks to some early three-point success.
'It was fool’s gold. We were up 13-9 and hadn’t thrown it inside but once,' KU coach Bill Self said.
'We made three threes, but if you go back and watch the tape, I bet you we had not gotten three 50/50 balls that should have been ours,' the coach continued."

Yeah, I have no skin in the game. I was just providing all three of you discussing this inane quote the context. Honestly, I couldn't care less what Self has to say about anything.
If you get in rythym 3 point opportunities, you need to take them. It keeps the offense moving efficiently and opens up the rest of offense. If they start going down...look out!
