ugh... no that isn't what I am saying at all...what I am saying is you can't play a defense like we have played in the two scrimmages and expect to win consistently. Teams rarely hit 50% of their 3 point shots, if you expect that to happen, then you will be sorely mistaken. What I am saying is playing against ACC caliber teams, if you allow the amount of wide open looks and the amount of times they have had easy lanes to the basket, then the games we win will be by closer games such as 68-65. They will also lead to losses in games that we should have won but for what ever reason only managed to shoot say 30% from three. The defense they have been playing requires them to take close to three full steps before they get their hand into a shooter's face. That is way to much time for good shooters. Heck a lot of our opponents misses have bounced off the rim, they just were not skilled enough to shoot effectively. Feel good that our offense is having great games and we have blown them out. It feels really good, and it is how it should be.
