Tonight has been poor from 3 to this point, but that happens. What I would like to see is us being a little more selective from 3. There have been quite a few that we forced early in the shot clock and we definitely could've gotten a better look.
We finished 9 for 31 (29%), which isn't great. But at one point I think we were 2 for 18, so making 7 of out last 13 was quite an improvement
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
I still think we're rushing shots for some reason. Maybe it's guys still adjusting to playing at this tempo in games but we just don't have consistent form a lot of the time.
I agree the early-clock threes deserve scrutiny, but I'm less worried about the 9-for-31 itself than whether A&M can keep getting good looks elsewhere. Against ULM, the Aggies went 29-for-42 on twos and 23-for-29 at the line. Scoring 108 on a poor three-point night... works just fine.
Was looking through the game stats. Against better defenses, which of those two sourcesfinishing inside or getting to the linedo you trust more?
Oh I agree it works just fine. I'm just saying let's not start shooting 3's just for the sake of shooting 3's. Especially when we have numbers. We can find better shots from 3 than a pull up with 25 seconds left on the shot clock.
