Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 5219733, member: 1673"] Two fallacies often repeated: “We must shoot 3s at a high percentage to win.“ The 2002 team, considered to be our best by some, shot 0-9 from three in the championship game against Oklahoma. This hints at another fallacy. “If we don’t have our A game we are toast.” Against Stanford we scored 12 points in the first half of the championship game, yet came back to win. Thinking we are toast without our A game assumes everyone else will have theirs, but in reality it’s not often that any team has their A game on both defense and offense. This contributes to why ”defense wins championships.” The best offense with five players all on at the same time can overcome the best defense, but an A game on defense is more reliable than an A game on offense.
