3 point shooting since Polley went down

[HooperScooper]

Big step back with the threes today. 4-23 for 17.4%. Ugh. But I'll take the win!

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

10 games since: 69-228 from three for 30.3%.

Forgot to do this after the Temple game. 7-24 (for 29.2%) in a loss.

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

11 games since: 76-252 from three for 30.2%.

After the USF game. 8-17 (47.1%) in a win.

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

12 games since: 84-269 from three for 31.2%.

I think this sample size is now big enough to show that without Polley they're pretty much a low 30's percent shooting team from three. Need some better shooters. Bouknight is 21-56 for 37.5%. He's trending up so hopefully he starts shooting more of the team's threes.

I'll keep updating this through the end of the regular season although at this point it's pretty clear that the team's three point percentage besides Polley was just a little better before he went down as after he went down (32.2% vs. 30.9%).

For the season the team's 3 point shooting percentage without Polley's threes is 31.7% (167/527). 31.7% would place them about 260 out of 350 teams in D1, which isn't very good. 34.2% (team's three point shooting percentage with Polley before he got hurt) would place them about 135.

5-19 against UCF last night (26.3%). But they still scored 81 points.

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34.2%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

13 games since: 89-288 from three for 30.9%.

10-29 against ECU yesterday (34.5%). I'd take that every game. Two games in a row over 80 points (never thought I'd be writing that earlier this season!).

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34.2%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

14 games since: 99-317 from three for 31.2%.

Finished on a down note the last 2 games from three but got 2 wins. Which I guess proves they're doing other things well enough now to get wins without shooting threes well.

4-17 against Houston (23.5%).

5-20 against Tulane (25%).

Before Polley went down: 107-313 from three for 34.2%. Polley himself was 30-74 (40.5%). Rest of the team 77-239 (32.2%).

16 games since: 108-350 from three for 30.9%. For comparison purposes 30.9% for the season would place them 299 out of 350 teams. Not good.

For the season overall they were 216-667 for 32.4%, which is 222 out of 350 teams.

Hopefully Polley comes back healthy and productive next year and everyone shoots it better from three. Cole is statistically a very good three point shooter so he should help. I also expect Bouknight to take more threes on the season and shoot a higher percentage (25-72 for 34.7%).

Bouknight seemed awfully tentative against Tulane

We're going to need to be over 30% in the AAC Tournament if we want to win games against WSU and Cincy.

I hope we get to those games Doc

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I hope we get to those games Doc

Me too. I'd hope that even in the event of mid-20's 3 point shooting we can take Tulane again. I'm not taking it for granted, but hopeful. I'm less hopeful that that's the case against those two.
