I know I am just repeating what has been said by many on this board already.  I don't know how anyone can bury TC after this year. His improvement in all facets to his game were secong to none on this team.  He works harder than anyone to get open.  I thinnkthe biggest things that hurt him coming down the stretch were

1. Better teams have the ability to focus on one player and taking him out of the gameplan. It was easy looking at the ND game thatif you take TC away we are going to struggle.

Not enough open looks.  Most games he was taking 3s off the curl which is a pretty low percentage shot.  The more I watch these other games, the sharpshooters like Stauskas, Heslip etc. get several transition open looks each game.  This gets them into rhythm and able to get hot.

3. This was not a good passing team.  Our team success is usually predicated on the number of assisted baskets pergame we have.  I think last year we averaged like 15 assists per game.  This year we had numerous games at the end of the year where we had less than 10.  Part of it is pace of play but part of it isnt. You can,t get open looks if you dont move the ball.

I really think TC will end up as the second best 3 point shooter of all time by any metric (volume, %). Not sure why all the hate because he is more than that but even with just that we are lucky to have him.
