Two point shots that go in are worth more than three point shots that don't. the "3 or bust" approach makes sense in the NBA where most of the non-centers are good three point shooters, (and some great). But in college there's a lot of guys like Ty and Oshae who are mediocre, (there's that word again!) or worse from the arc and can fill it up from within it. You've got to take the shots you can score with.

Our all-time leading scorer, Lawrence Moten, was a mediocre three point shooter, (31.6%)

he got his points by moving, moving, moving: inside and out, around, cutting through, working the baseline, etc., daring defenders to keep up with him.  That's the way college basketball should be played, not this static jack-it-up-or-dunk-it-in game we see now.

In ACC play,

We've been outscored in the "Inner Sanctum"  by 10 points
