When you are shooting low 20ish percent from 3-land, the opposition happily gives you enough room to tempt you into taking that shot. Our offense is not what you would categorize as very sophisticated. Lots of running around the perimeter, not enough working the ball in and out; not enough slashing to the basket; or sneaking a big over the top.  Too often it is chucking it up from deep or someone trying to get the job done themselves, typically as the clock runs down. It didn't help that last years Frank Howard showed up at the Garden . . . hope that is just an aberration and not a reversion. Anyway, not meant to be unduly harsh but was at the Garden last night and couldn't help but notice how Nova routinely penetrated the Zaga’s D and either converted easy layups or would kick the ball back out for open shots; how many weapons they had, and how under control they played.

That said, here's a couple of things to ponder-

Our Assit/Turnover Ration is .97 # 216 in the nation 
We've turned the ball over more than we have assists . . . 102 to 99
We avg 12.75 Assists/g . . . 264th in the nation

Need a couple of roles of Dimes to get that offense flowing. Bottom line though, I think our team has plenty of upside. Defense looks good, much more active than the past couple of years; like the way they hustle after the ball, and like the way they go after rebounds . . . gotta get back to work
