What is wrong?

[Bongo Fury]

Well the biggest issue with today's game is that instead of feeding Sanogo we had to watch Polley brick threes and watch Martin throw layups everywhere but through the hoop.

They won 2 games because Polley was hot. Lost some when he wasn’t. It’s been a gamble

This is it with Polley. He is streaky and if he is not hitting his shots early, most likely will remain cold. His effectiveness for the duration of the game can be determined early.

That is exactly correct and what I said during the game threads. If he misses at least 2 of 3 of his first shots, he will most likely remain cold because his confidence dwindles. In the Marquette game, he didn't have to think about shooting because they were behind by 18 and there was nothing to lose so he could let it fly without any game pressure or repercussion. Once he made a bunch and the game was close, he already had made a lot of shots so he felt very confident to shoot, even if the game was tight.
