When was the last time Bouk made a three?

[Palatine]

I think the air ball was the only one he took today.

Larry Bird used to say (not comparing anyone to Larry Legend), paraphrased -- When I'm hot I shoot until I miss. When I'm cold I shoot until I make one. Bouk needs to use that philsophy. He can't be a spectator. Some guys need have the game to come to them. Bouk has got to force his way into the game. We need him to.

He got fouled on a three for our only FTs all day

Offensive 3 point production.: They made 11 we made 2. I guess that doesn’t work. If I were Hurley I put our 3 point shooters in the gym for shooting 3’s and nothing else. We know these players can jump. We know they can block out. The usual offensive play breaks down to a dribble drive or inside move. The difference is we don’t make 3’s. You cannot win without them.

Actually I am seeing good defense by the other teams. The past couple of games our shooters have been smothered. It's not like they are open. I know, they need to get open. However, the other teams seem to get a shooter open which kills us. Our coaches seeing what the other team is doing?

Bouknight has missed his last 7 3 attempts.

Easy to guard statues. Our offense is 1 guy dribbling and 1 guy running and 3 watching.

Watch the last five minutes again. All the movement on O is bigs setting screens out high and AG and CV running off them. No low screens. The other guys just standing still. Literally not moving. Too easy to guard.

He's got decent form so he should start hitting them but needs to take more in the flow like early in season.

I was watching him swish like 5 or 6 in a row last week pregame vs WSU ... when he was warming up ....

Nova really moves the ball well. I was impressed with that part of their offense.

 

[LIuconn]

they swing it so fast and are deceptive with it, they're almost guaranteed an open 3 on every possession

 

[ToolzieFan]

While he hasn't made a 3 since NJIT, he has only attempted six in the last five games. He's now 7-21 for the season, but that's a really small sample. If he hits his next 3, then he's up to 36%, which doesn't seem that low for a freshman guard.

He's a good shooter. I'm not worried at all about him in the long-run. I hope he starts getting a couple attempts a game with Polley out.
