I think he had one end-of-shot clock rushed 3 in the NH game. But every other 3 has been in rhythm, he looks relaxed and confident. They all have been spot-on accuracy-wise.
Most of the 2nd half was a perfect storm of a few things that made it total poo-poo.
To their credit, Columbia made a defensive adjustment in the 2nd half to start overplaying our perimeter offense. Rather than attack it with relentless blowby drives and cuts/backdoor cuts, we just kinda...
This is a pretty insane take. Other than the obvious last two sentences.
Go find me the 2-9 shooting performances that Solo and AK “so often toss into the mix”.
Also, recall that @Hey Adrien! makes even teams like ETSU sound like scary Final Four contenders in his team reviews.
Columbia hot from 3pt range (7-12) is the main reason. Though this was as predictable as the sun rising and setting. Many teams play out of their minds vs. UConn and regress to the mean afterwards. With that said, they've gone on a run and closed it to 48-34.
Yep, that was my point. While the lane was open, there's no guarantee that the play would evolve as:
Smith delivers a perfect dish to a cutting Ross
Ross handles the pass, drives the lane and takes either a layup or dunk
NH defense lets him do this with no contest of the shot
Ross makes the...
Tough to really say he's "struggling" from 3 on a literal 4 shot in-game sample size this year up to the point of the play being discussed. He went 0-1 in the BC game, 2-3 in the MSU game. One could argue he is actually "hot" because he was shooting 50% up to the NH game.
If you really want to...
Agree its a great site with more granular/relevant metrics than simple box +/-. but even the more fancy metrics commonly used don't tell the whole story for player performance/value.
Which is why every high-level program has video folks to dissect and chop up game film to add the qualitative...
Other than his first attempt of the year, I’ve seen no issue with his confidence taking good-look 3’s this year. And they have all been nice-looking shots. He should (and is) firing away when he has the right looks.
I’m here selling cheap tickets to the JRoss train. It’s gonna be an enjoyable...
So I had a Halloween party this weekend. Was able to get a great Nectaron/Nelson/Citra IPA from Dudleytown. Brewed up 10gal of an 5.8% Oatmeal stout. Split it into 2 fermenters and added coffee/cacao nibs/cinnamon sticks to one (Breakfast of Champions), and peanut butter/cacao nibs to the other...
Watch that play. Both options are fine. Staying behind the 3pt line for a wide open kickout 3ball, or cutting towards the hoop. Thing is, cutting makes him trail his defender and may actually help the D. Yea he could get a 6-8ft baseline jumper, or maybe get a pass and take it to the tin, but...
