Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3822553, member: 9844"] Regarding perspective, most of our fans make comparisons to Uconn norms and expectations, not to the average Division 1 team. By Uconn standards, the 2pt percentage is still outstanding, the 3pt percentage mediocre, and the FT percentage downright pathetic. So how can a terrible FT% and great 2pt% coexist? Because we are frequently playing small ball with many passers who can get the ball to people inside, and for wide open shots. Not only Paige, but remember Evina is like a second point guard on the floor, and Anna could be described as a point/forward. Last year's team was not nearly as good at producing easy shots, but with two departed great long range shooters in Crystal and Megan, they could frequently make a good percentage of difficult ones. Next year of course we should have both traits on the roster, but even though it seems ridiculous on the surface, I think Geno while exaggerating, does have a below average "shooting " team for him, and he feels the offense is producing good shots that they should be making more often. A high 2 pt FG% and low FT% is far more indicative of a team that is better at passing and getting easy shots, than pure shooting ability. [/QUOTE]
