Message: [QUOTE="Iluvsuebird, post: 5128510, member: 12567"] Steph Curry’s career 3 point percentage is 42.6%, and he is viewed as the top gunner in the game. These two teams shot over 50% for the GAME. I know that our defense has been weak. I know that our defense must improve going forward. But can it be that these two teams have shot their w—— against us? Memphis beat MSU but only shot 34.5% from 3. It is incredibly rare for a team to shoot over 50% from 3. We had two teams in back to back games. Let’s settle down, this is beginning to look like just plain old bad luck. Also, it seems to me that this dilemma has an easy fix: first, don’t double the bigs. Stay with your man on the perimeter. We saw what happened against Purdue, right? If their center scores 30 on 20 shots, let him. That’s 20 2 point shots instead of 10 made 3’s. If we played that kind of “stay in your lane” defense I do not believe we lose against Memphis or Colorado. And second, replace Aidan with Nowell. It is obvious that Nowell cannot be exploited like Aidan. I do not believe that this current situation is hard to fix. But it will require a game plan change because, as we all know, we don’t have DC down in the paint any more. [/QUOTE]
