Carrier dome an edge but the old Manley Field House with the elevated court above the bench was like the players running off a cliff on the sidelines and fans right on top of you.
It's tough to shoot 3s in big arenas, especially baseline jumpers. Smart by Hurley to get UConn more time at XL.
I'm glad I read the article in order to conclude that you inferred "blame," which isn't necessarily the case.
Why was this not a problem in 99, 04, 11 and 14, or any other year we had a powerhouse team. All this is doing is putting it in the players heads that there is a problem shooting in this arena.
Don't teams typically shoot worse in the final four compared to their season average? I'm pretty sure I've seen it brought up basically every year and it's blamed on the arenas
Agree with that. I really meant to specifically reference the XL.
Well it's definitely possible that we just aren't practicing there enough and Hurley seems to believe that's a component. I don't know how often we practiced there 20 years ago.
You just answered the question. Thank you.
"All"?
Larry Bird shot for two hours before every game in every arena. and He never once ran to pick up the basketball he always had a ball boy or two there to feed him. He just shot every shot in the book countless times. all the 3's and spin shot of the backboard. So yeah, Kemba needs to practice in every arena.
Sound logic is not necessary here. Its never long lasting (i.e. remembered), and certainly not seen thread to thread.
It was worth it. He was electric out there.
Need a .gif of that including the game time and score.
