Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 1265861, member: 906"] If its your first or second best shooter, I say usually no, a shooter is going to make the shot. If its your third-forth best hes probably wide open so as long as hes taking it confidently same thing just not as many attempts. The bigger question is even if its a wide open high percentage shot is that the shot you wanted in that situation? You will see JB yell at them for taking a three early in the shot clock or not working the ball around alittle more or attacking and getting to the line all the time. Other times JB won't be upset if they miss 6-7 that are half way down and take a 12 point deficit, it depends. The problem wasn't poor basketball iq. Plain and simple the team didnt rebound on defense well, didn't cover the clemson shooters who buried like 8 threes six more then us and from the same angles all game.And we shot the ball bad and appeared unconfident on a lot of them. Clemson didn't turn the ball over, we didn't get transition points, and we usually average around 16 assists we had half of that. We went on a short run but couldn't keep it going. That's the end result. That's not poor basketball iq, thats just the other team played better. Pretty plain and simple I wouldn't take this game serious or dwell on it, on don't know why many of us have. outrebounded by 10 - thats 8 points. outshot from three by 6 buckets another 18 points only 7 assists we averave 16 thats another 20 points. 45% vs 36% from field goal thats another 8-20 points there. turnover margin equal no transition buckets. Rak, G, and Cooney have to play 40 minutes all year and carry this team on their back at full hustle speed. They are going to have some rough moments, its good they have it together in the same game, rather then each in different games. [/QUOTE]
