I don't believe the percentages tell the whole story, primarily because the various Huskies generally are taking good shots -- dare I say "wide open" -- and not getting the expected results. Those open shots are partly coming (not to downplay the patience, movement and picks that drive the offense) because the foes are terrified, rightly, that UConn's inside game is going to gut them. So, they pack the lane, making the perimeter a shooter's playground.
In that situation, you expect good shooters to have more success. This year, so far, that is sometimes the case, but when it's not then fans are simply going to be frustrated -- they know there are a lot of good shooters in Storrs, and ya get p.o.'d when you start losing confidence that a wide-open shot is gonna bring points -- or at the very least not be a hopeless brick. Fans also know that if those open perimeter shots don't fall, it makes a productive inside game far more difficult. And that adds to the frustration about "off" shooting nights.
Of course, fans' very high expectations for these players is a big contributor to all this.
BTW, is anyone else surprised by the reported number of treys Saniya has put up considering her relatively limited play time?
