Our 3 pt shooting percentage as a team has been poor as of late. We’re due for a 50% shooting game to bring our average back up to where it should be

Good to hear. A bit surprised Reed is on there because my eyes tell me Reibe is often more disruptive as a defender.

We looked better on defense with Reibe on the floor tonight. If he plays like he did tonight he’s going to be a problem for many teams going forward.

Taliek Brown, Jerome Dyson, Caron Butler…we’ve had a lot of good ones

We’ve won games close games we would have won by 15-20 if our 3 point shooting was even average or slightly below average (with the exception of the PC game where both teams shot the lights out). It’s a fine line, but if we make 2-3 more open 3’s And stop shooting 15-20% from 3 and 60% from the...

I don’t care about KenPom so much, just asked the question more as a thought experiment. It’s wild to me that we can beat a top 25 team on the road and drop in the metrics…that just shouldn’t ever really happen. Top 25 road wins are very hard to come by.

I can’t help but notice even though we are about to move up to the #2 team in the country, it seems like every year once we get into league play our KenPom offensive efficiency #’s start a downward trend. I wish I had access to KenPom’s archives so I could go back and plot the trend. Seems like...

We shot 18% from 3 point range and just beat a Top 25 team on the road while playing 5 on 8. I’m not going to go on and on about the officiating but if you watched the 2nd half and didn’t come away thinking they were trying to steal that game from us I don’t know what you were watching. Big East...

We play a slow pace because of the offensive sets we run. We literally make teams defend 6-8 screens of more and multiple actions in a 25 second period and it generally results in a high quality shot. Then we do that 60 more times. It wears teams down. Could we score more if we played a quicker...

Not sure if others have mentioned it but Stewart has become a pretty high level entry passer into the post. Multiple times last night he got the ball around the foul line and threw a very nice lob into Reed. They looked like set plays. He’s becoming a key to our success even when not scoring

Maybe, but that just shows the NET is still not a good metric. The committee isn’t looking at how good or bad the teams ranked over 150 were to determine your seeding. They need to weight Top 25 wins more heavily.

It’s amazing to me that based on our resume which seems to me to be a top 3 resume of all teams in college ball at worst that the net has us 8th. We are very clearly one of the best 3-4 teams this year

Some on here think it’s 99% chance he’s a one and done. I’d put it closer to 50/50 if I had to take a stab right now. He needs to gain some strength and improve his defense. He’s not gonna be “the guy” this year with AK and Solo on the team. If he stays another year he could be a 20 ppg scorer...

Kid is seriously underrated. I know he’s a top 25 prospect in his class, but he definitely looks closer to top 5 from what I’ve seen compared to others ranked above him.

The game has definitely slowed down for Ross and if his offense is clicking like it was the other night it’s going to be hard to give him under 25 mins/game.
