Against G-town, 41 of 66 Shots Were 3's

That is 62%, for cryin' out loud. And UConn made only 12 of them (29%), despite the flurry at the beginning of the second half. So the three-ball accounted for less than 50% of their points while constituting over 60% of their offense.

Overall, UConn was 28 of 66 (42%) in field goal shooting. If you do the arithmetic, that means that they made 16 of 25 shots from inside the 3-point line (64%).

UConn committed 17 fouls, while Georgetown committed only 8 -- you are not going to get fouled if you are almost always jacking up 3's.

UConn attempted only 10 free throws, while Georgetown attempted 19.

Apparently even Geno was quoted after the ND game as saying that his team took to many 3's in that game. It was much worse against Georgetown.

We're going to shoot a lot of threes when we have one true offensive post in Dolson (I'm not counting Stewie as a true post. She could play on the Wing if we wanted her too.)

And a bunch of players who shoot well from three (Stewart, Doty, Faris, KML, Hartley) and a bunch of players who don't like physical contact..

Relax, already. Georgetown's defense dictated that number of threes.. Geno spoke about it at length after the game and he had no problem with it.

I like the 2-point percentage, but not the number of treys or the FT disparity. They need to improve on the last point soon.

This is wrong and getting worse. They are really good at tossing the ball around on the outside. They have yet to prove they can consistently go inside against a decent team. When the season started, I was one of those looking forward to watching a team with a strong post presence, especially with the new slimmed-down Stef. What we've got, it seems, is a three-point shooting team and a center whose favorite move is to push the ball back out to the three-point line. What is up with this?

what part of a team that plays zone and packs in the low post do you folks not get?
they left the perimeter open so we took the shots. force it into the post where the post player gets truiple teamed ? Relax and enjoy, you take what the other team allows you to do !!

It's hard getting it through to some of the people on here. It's like they've already forgotten we beat a decent Conference team by 27, on the road.
