On the 2nd halves.  I won't go into coaching adjustments, that's been beat to death and a moot point because Autry will be gone.

Just on the players shooting.  We are shooting close to 30% from 3 in the 2nd halves of ACC play.  In the first halves its close to 40%.  We take more and make more in the 1st half and it keeps a defense honest.  We take less and make dramatically less in the 2nd.

You simply cannot sustain an offense if your team cannot make 3's.  Here are the 2nd half 3's.  I stopped counting in garbage time btw.

NCState 1-7 
Miami 2-7
VT 1-8
BC 3-6

The easiest way to beat us is to just pack in the paint and wait for us to be dumb and launch 3's that we can't make.  The other coach doesn't even need to adjust that much to us defensively.

And before people say yea but Autry is not running plays and getting them good shots.  Yes that's true but just go back and look at how many open looks we miss as well.  We can't make the open shots anyway and we cant get good looks so it's all just bad.
