Yup its like JB said.
ND shot really well and we shot extremely poor can't do that on the road. Your not going to get a ton of fast break points on the road usually.
 
We had 13 more shots then ND we make half of those 13 from 2 point range and we win by 4. Even despite ND shooting 50 from two a 50 from three and them having a half dozen (give or take) free throw advantage.
If they had 10 more points from the line then what they did and shoot that well though we probably aren't beating anybody.
 
We were shooting 48 percent from the field (20th in the nation thats pretty darn good). and 35 percent from three (not bad) for the season. Thats not dependent on fast break points at all. Its consistancy from our players that matters and nobody outside of James in our core scoring 7(including Melo) was consistant yesterday. IMO a bigger glaring weakness is weight in the paint when Melo isn't in. Keita needs to remember what it was like battling against Rick.
 
Goes to show Youth will always be youth.
[U]Our players have to realize we literrally can't win the title playing a game like that. We will get bounced or be extremely lucky not to be with neutral court transition points. I don't want the team to take that chance. Its a fact. I hope the players learn that.[/U]
