Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 3822256, member: 7953"] Team is shooting 34.2% from 3 and 52.2% overall and 60.7% for 2 point attempts. (also 69.3% on FT's accounting for 124 made free throws) To date the team has scored 851 points (260 2 pointers, 69 3 pointers, 124 one pointers) If we eschewed all 3 point attempts and only shot 2 pointers we would at the same rate of efficiency we would have scored 868 points. Our 3 point shooting is hurting the team over all. Also more two point shots means more offensive rebounds and more second chance points and fewer fast breaks by the opposition allowing defense to set up. Also more two point shots mean more and 1's which cannot be considered at this time. If we had made 40% of 3's we would have scored 884 points 3.1 more points per game. Evaluate the significance of 3 points per game. To date it would be no difference in our record. Please don't tell me we need to shoot 3's to bring the defense out because that assumes we are now shooting at a rate that is bringing the defense out now. I don't think we are because you see Olivia double teamed every trip down. Just thinking. :) [/QUOTE]
