Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 3218246, member: 1452"] Replying to my own post to substantiate a point... Last year's offensively-challenged team had 5 games where they shot better than 40% from 3: @ OSU 11-24 from 3 - won 72-62 @ ND 12-29 from 3 - won 72-62 @ Duke 11-25 from 3 - won 95-91 @ Pitt 12-26 from 3 - won 74-63 @ Miami 14-30 from 3 - won 74-53 5-0, all on the road. average margin of victory 11 points... This year's team goes 14-32 from 3 vs G'twon and loses by 10. Last year's team goes 14=30 vs Miami and wins by 21. The problem this year is on the defensive side of the ball. The O is not the issue. We had 3 teams put up more than 79 points on us last year: UConn, Oregon and Duke. If this year's team could play last year's D, we are easily a tourney team. if this year's team could play the D of 17-18, watch out. Alas, they don't... [/QUOTE]
