I am talking about 3 point shooting.

He shot over 40% for a season and 3/4 consecutively.

That motion said "I know I'm going to lose, so I want to get as many games (and checks) in before I do" . . .

True, which is why I think everyone agrees that limiting his attempts is probably the best idea. Other than the Villanova and Providence games (without Mullins) I don't think the number of attempts per game has been outlandish. 4-5 seems right.

The game logs I looked at didn’t include the postseason. My bad, I guess. 16-36 is 44.4%. Include the postseason and it drops to 40%. And while it’s somewhat arbitrary it’s pretty easy to build the narrative that once he got his feet wet after being thrown into heavy minutes as a freshman...

They've always been able to review plays for flagrant fouls. It's how that Texas Tech player was booted last year for "forcible contact to the groin" on a purely basketball play. I don't think we lost the timeout there. The flagrant call cancelled out the challenge. Doesn't change the fact...

He shot 45% after December 1 of his Freshman season. He's this year's Karaban -- an injury obviously hampering his shooting, with a bunch of imbeciles declaring that he now sucks.

The announcers were rightly puzzled by the call. Smith flailed his arms a bit after getting hit in the face. That's it. I've seen 20 replays and still don't get what led to the call. I'm going with they invented something so that Hurley couldn't get on O'Connell for reversing the OOB call...

It may just be a result of controlling the boards better.

Not much to be upset about, other than the ridiculous flagrant call and the even more ridiculous people defending it.

I'm putting zero stock in the rating of a lineup that has played all of 30 minutes this year. Anyone with a functioning brain is doing the same . . .

He's wrong about 2002, anyway. We basically played them even after Butler went out until they hit a 3 at the end of the half, and the last 4 minutes of the first half was a massive foul fest. The chance of a third on Butler was high.

I wouldn't say he's doing well. He's putting up some scoring numbers on high volume and terrible percentages, with a 1:1 A/TO ratio. He's eventually going to be a player, and the early playing time will help him get there, but he can only get that playing time in a situation like MD -- a bad...

Erhunmwunse is probably PC's only plus defender. We got him in foul trouble and then Reed took advantage. *edit, I missed that this was about last year.

It wasn't a Juan Dixon shot. It was Steve Blake.
