[QUOTE="Poe's Law, post: 1195823, member: 328210"] I've got a few theories: 1) Good teams have good coaches. Good coaches focus on shutting down Nunn and Hill and making everybody else beat us. That everybody else is not good enough to beat a good team. 2) We've collectively over rated Hill and Nunn because the talent around them is so poor. Similar to how the best guard on PSU would get all conference votes each year because they'd average nearly 20pts a game on terrible teams. 3) point shaving (joking just in case it wasn't obvious) 4) We aren't playing Austin enough (joking just in case it wasn't obvious) 5) They have to work so much harder for those relatively open looks against good teams that they don't have the lift they normally have on their shots.
