Just listened to it some interesting tidbits, probably the most interesting thing was that he seems to think that the team's chemistry is finally coming together. The things that concerned him most the 3pt shooting and the teams defense of the 3pt shot.

Just listened to it some interesting tidbits, probably the most interesting thing was that he seems to think that the team's chemistry is finally coming together. The things that concerned him most the 3pt shooting and the teams defense of the 3pt shot.

Defending the 3 has been a problem, but the last 10 games:

1. Syracuse - 21.4%
2. WVU - 34.5%
3. DePaul - 36.4%
4. Pitt - 27.8%
5. PC - 47.6%
6. Syracuse - 25%
7. Nova - 33.3%
8. Marquette - 45.5%
9. DePaul - 24%
10. Syracuse - 62.5%

Below the line is BCR*: it seems like their defense improved greatly after this. But damn, they were bad, and anything above 35% is still not great.

As for individual players:
Boatright: 39% from 3
Bazz: 35% (38% in last 10 games)
Lamb: 33.7%

Lamb went through an awful shooting slump for a while, dragging his numbers down. In the small sample size ACR*, he shot 9-23 (39%). That may not be representative enough, though.
