Why did the team shoot so poorly from the arc? We hit 7 of the 29 3pt attempts is all; 24%. The freshmen were perhaps overwhelmed with it all? Didn’t really appear to be, but who knows? Their results were zero for 10! As for the sophomores add the zero for two from KK and one for five from Ash; it adds up to a whole lot of attempts and no success from the underclassmen.
I don’t know that there is always a 100% definitive answer as to why there are occasional poor shooting nights. They were talking open shots; they had good looks. As noted, it didn’t appear that they were playing poorly, other than the fact that they were not hitting their shots from the arc. Had their success rate been just a little more typical of their standards, say 35% of those deep shots, it would have amounted to another 9 points on the scoreboard. And with that it would have been a 78 to 58 drubbing!
