Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3804506, member: 3535"] I seldom agree with what jingo says so I am not arguing the point about Liv. For me I'm not concerned who is best - I do KNOW though that Paige is a beast - I'm with you. :) But UCONN is not a poor 3pt poor shooting team if you exclude Paige. The other 3 are 31-92 from 3pt range. That's an EFG% of 50.54%. Take away other teams top 3pt shooter too and their efg% will suffer a bit too. Compared to some other years - yes it's poor - but overall 50.54% is not poor from players 2-4 considering they take quite a few 3's. It's just bad vs what we've seen from some teams in the past. Geno is going to say and do what he needs to do to in order demand more,- and this lineup is capable of much more. But his comments this year of shooting are all about hyperbole. I do think they can be had on a given night from poor shooting vs a very good team (I can't imagine them losing more that 1 reg season game this year). But that is random. A team can throw a [I]box-and-one[/I] or [I]triangle-or-two[/I] - or [I]sag[/I] as you say - and on that random night -they miss. Heck, anyone can miss on a random night. [B]Look at the 2002 finals UCONN played vs Oklahoma. DT and See Bird missed every one of their 3pointers and it's not like many were contested much. Sometimes you are going to miss. That's why balance is so important. :)[/B] [/QUOTE]
