[QUOTE="cjw1901, post: 1963692, member: 748031"] Right, in an absolute sense, that is sad 2pt shooting, since it was 10 for 25 or 40% on 2s. But Marquette was actually worse at 10 for 27 or 37% on 2s, so, relative to our opponent, bad shooting on 2s was not the reason we lost this game by 7 pts. Instead, you have to look at the 15 TOs (vs 8 for Marquette). Since CH and TSJ had 10 of the 15 TOs, they are your main culprits. TSJ was wildly going to the basket, so that style comes with some TOs automatically, especially when the refs don't call a lot of fouls. With CH it's harder rationalize. Many bigs wouldn't be out on the perimeter as much as CH is. Coleman needs to stick to the safe passes and be more aware of defenders, like when Kolek stripped him. That stuff (TOs induced by Marquette's good defense) is what lost us this game. [/QUOTE]
