Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4508205, member: 833"] Here are the shooting percentages of the key rotation players heading into Butler: Sanogo: 59.1% Hawkins: 40.3% Clingan: 70.6% Calcaterra: 43.3% Karaban: 45.9% Newton: 34.6% Alleyne: 33.3% Jackson: 37.8% Diarra: 29.7% Newton, Alleyne, Jackson and Diarra are having career low shooting percentage seasons, in their 3rd and 4th years, when players should be having their highest shooting percentage seasons. While Calcaterra is not having a career low season yet, at the rate he has been shooting the last month (5 for 29 from the field since Georgetown), he will be there pretty soon. Take out the two frosh, where there is no prior year basis for comparison, and Hawkins, who (we hope) can't shoot as bad as last season"s 35.3% but is not exactly a model of efficiency, basically Sanogo is the only player not having the WORST shooting season of their college career. It is worth noting that the transfers all shot better off a lot more shots at their prior homes, which would indicate that despite having to take more shots (which should lower shooting percentages), they were still getting better looks overall before coming to UConn. Either UConn is really unlucky and almost every offensive player is having a down year at once, or our offense is hot garbage and is making our players worse. And the fact that Hurley is sticking with his gummed up, easy to defend offense rather than try something different, like playing Clingan and Sanogo together, shows just how stubborn he is. [/QUOTE]
