This team just can't shoot the 3 very well. Beginning of the year we were making clutch ones and hitting a decent percentage. Now we just can't hit one. Our early 3 point woes are killing us.
0-6 from 3 point.

All of Bost's have been wide open, the two Hood shot were wide open, and the two Jalen has missed were wide open. I just don't get how a bunch of guys that shoot 3 pointers can consistently miss wide open threes.
The team simply can't make wide open threes and that is the difference. We have lost a few guys on defense but Vandy has hit their threes and that is why we trail. It is obvious the refs are going to call every little foul on Didney so we have no other inside options other than Moultrie and we have gotten shim some good looks but if Bost and Bryant and Steele can't shoot the three, we will struggle from now on. We desperately need a two guard who can score.
I'm pretty sure I never said that. I said missing 3 point shots were killing us and that we haven't been doing that well. Never said it was a reflection of Stansbury, I just said I can't believe guys that we ask to shot 3 pointers like Hood, Bost, and Steele have been so bad recently at doing that. I never said it was a coaching problem.
When you are making them. We are not making them.
Coach is saying that good, well-executed offensive set plays allow you to take these same shots from 16 ft instead of 24...and allow you to get the ball inside to Moultrie more often than basically just on his offensive rebounds.

We ended up 10 of 20. So by my calculations we went 10-14 from 3 to end the game. And to add, Vandy went 14-27 for 52%. Considering how terrible we played in the 1st half, I can't believe we won.
