Obviously there is plenty of discussion about Melo's absence. And, lots of people are talking about rebounding struggles. But, am I alone in thinking that we would be far more effective and efficient on offense if we would stop taking so many 3s and long jumpers? We are averaging about 20 3pt. shots per game. There are several guys that CAN knock down a 3 but I don't think that it’s any secret that this is an average (at best) shooting team. On the other hand Scoop, Triche, Waiters, KJ and Fair are all capable of driving the lane, making interior plays and picking up fouls along the way. Against Cinci, it seemed that the team did focus on taking the ball to the basket and only took a dozen shots from behind the arc that game (the fewest of the season I believe). I thought the result was fantastic. If they had done the same against WVU, it would have been a 10+ pt. victory and the nonsense about the blown call would have been a moot or non-existent issue. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd love to see a little discussion about this.
