We’ve shot .245 from 3 in BE games. We look like a grade school team when a zone is thrown up. Lucky to be 14-4, 4-3 like this with one side of the floor this bad. How about a heater and stat correction at MSG?
Our athletes are not good shooters. Forgot about tossing up 3 pointers and drive the ball to the basket. The other teams don't have Bill Russel to bat it into the seats..311th in 3PT%

I said many days past that this team is much better with "D" than last year but that is mainly due to the press. If the press is not working its magic they are in deep dodo as this team is not better than last year's team as far as 3 point shooting and 2 point shooting. It seems like every BE team we played can shoot better than us from 2 and 3 in the half court. Our BE stats prove this out and this does not bode well for the upcoming games.311th in 3PT%

That’s what got us here. But the shooting has regressed. Idk what it is. Even good looks.
A lot of worse shots because everyone plays hero ball. No interior passing and the lack of confidence in the 3 just exacerbates everything.
No need to ever apologize to me. I admit we’re not as good as I thought, but again, you’re more active when we lose.
all of these players stats from their previous schools showed this was a collection of terrible shooters. not really surprised.311th in 3PT%

Two weeks ago this had the potential to be a barnburner. But since beating Providence in double O/T the (1-5) Bulldogs have fallen off of a Big East cliff. The only fear for the Pirates is a 12:00 letdown coming off the excruciating loss to UConn. I'll play it safer than I should. Seton Hall...www.on3.com
It's a lot more difficult to press when you don't score.
I think this is the root of it. We don't run pretty offense which leads to a lot of bad shots. Spacing can be an issue, we are always near the bottom of the country with outside shots, so you don't have to worry about much.
It's also less effective now that it has been seen over and over and the opposing coaches prepare their team for it. For the most part it has not be going so well and the offense that was driven by turnovers off the press is DOA now. Going forward let's see how effective it is.
Actually while that is true even when they do score the press is not as effective as it used to be.
They came back from 18 points down with it against the best team in the country?
Was it really the press or the fact that UConn missed free throws and 3 pointers? Shu did not come back because they made their shots. Check who won and the stats.
Or by the time the game starts the kids are exhausted from practices? Just a thought. Also I am seeing more players are banged up and have tape on their hands. Payne has been playing with taped up fingers since game 1.
We missed the same amount of free throws and ours were missed by 80% free throw shooters and there’s were all missed by a center who was exhausted and carried UConn on his back.
Could be anything.
I'm not sure they were rightfully ranked by the results of the game that followed the ranking. They sure did not confirm they belonged ranked!
I don't know about the St. John's game being the litmus test; to me this game couldn't come at a worse time; they are playing their best ball of the year, and are feeling like now is the time to make a run at the top.
