What's really interesting is if you compare this to last year's shop distribution which was all layups and three-pointers, very few mid range. Last year's team was pretty much the archetype of modern basketball.
This is bonkers!

AK did say on Jared's podcast the ball has too much air in it....which is crazy...He did say that shouldnt be an excuse. Doesn't the NCAA check this stuff? They could give Tom Brady a call for helpWe seem to be on an alternating schedule of shooting well or shooting poorly, mainly since the start of the BE tournament, but here's the stats through the first four games of the NCAA. Our percentages are in the left column and the opponents % in the right column:
UConn: ------------------------------------Opponent:
Game 1 BE (Xavier) 7/21 (33.3%)----Xavier was 5/21 (23.8%)
Game 2 BE (St. Johns) 10/22 (45.4%)----St. J's was 11/22 (50%)
Game 3 BE (Marquette) 7/24 (29.2%)----Marq was 6/18 (33.3%)
NCAA round 1 Stetson 9/24 (37.5%)----Stetson was 3/20 (15%)
-Round 2 Northwestern 3/22 (13.6%)----NW was 4/15 (26.7%)
-Round 3 San Diego St 10/26 (38.5%)----SD St was 5/22 22.7%)
-Round 4 Illinois -------3/17 (17.6%)----llinois was 6/23 (26.1%)
Lot's of variables of course with different opponents and when we're up the other team has been down and vice versa. Sure would be nice if DH and the staff can figure it out in case we need a barrage of three's to keep the streak going. No need to mention why........
They didn't even realize the two different 3pt lines in the women's game...Doesn't the NCAA check this stuff?
With the 2 times the ball got stuck at the rim and almost a third, it looked to me like the ball was underinflated, but it may just be the Wilson ball they are using in the tourney. I don’t think many other teams use it in the regular season.AK did say on Jared's podcast the ball has too much air in it....which is crazy...He did say that shouldnt be an excuse.

I read where it was a 9” difference in the women’s game.They didn't even realize the two different 3pt lines in the women's game...

But parity??UConn's 23.1 point margin of victory over two seasons is the largest ever in tournament history over a 2 year span, even larger than UCLA's largest margin of victory over a 2 year span with Lew Alcindor.
Hopefully we can do it for 2 more games.
DoomedIf we win the next two by a total of 18 points PLUS we have the most dominant NCAA tournament ever. Passing KY 1996 at 128 points scoring difference
Especially amazing that in the Illinois game we lead by 30 with only three made 3's. Who could ever imagine that stat in today's game?I think that leading each game by 30+ points at some point is the winner.
Check post #18. BGesus4 says the differential last year was 141. I'm too lazy right now to check and may not be reading something right.Doomed
That's not the differential, those were our largest leadsCheck post #18. BGesus4 says the differential last year was 141. I'm too lazy right now to check and may not be reading something right.
