Two HUGE stats

[Degaz-RU]

7 for 16 from three-point range -- 44%
15 for 21 from the FT line - 71.6%

Lower either of these stats, and we lose.

About damn time we shot above 40% from 3 while our opponent shot 25%

The 3-pt shooting was so important because PSU did a masterful job of playing interior defense and taking away our bigs. We could barely even make an entry pass to give our bigs a chance to score. And they blocked 7 shots.

So we NEEDED to hit those threes, and boy were they ever timely -- Harper, McConnell, Kiss, and that dagger by Baker with about 3:30 left on the clock.

It was a good gameplan by Chambers... take away the interior in the halfcourt and hope Rutgers shoots their typical game from outside. Today RU hit enough (44% is objectively good!) and, as you pointed out, took care of business at the line.

Now all we have to do is make layups.

Yes.

Making layups, treys and FTs sounds like a pretty good way to win more games than you lose.[winking]

The shot selection from 3 seemed way better than usual today

True
Except for the Eugene 3
Ugh

 

[G- RUnit]

Most of our looks from three are good shots.
