It is not really fair to place everything on one player, many different factors affect a season, but this this season seems to hinge on Triche and his shooting. I know its not Triche's fault that the big men can't score or finish around the rim. It is also not his fault that he and Southerland are the only three point shooters, but this season Triche seems to be the factor that determines if this team can make a run. Everyone talks about this but I went to the stats to verify it.
Starting with the loss at Nova, which begins a 5-6 streak, Triche is shooting 19.6% 11-56 from three. Take away his worst shooting game (0-7 vs Uconn) and his best (4-7 Hall) during the streak and the percentage falls to 16%.
If this team is going to make a run he has to hit around 35%. All the faults of this years team don't land on Brandon Triche, but if he could start hitting a reasonable percentage the Cuse could make a good run in the tournament, IMO.
