This three game losing streak should reinforce what many already knew.  This is not a team that can win when it does not shoot well.  Yes Gillon's poor play has been a big factor too but as I said earlier this season Gillon being able to drive and be a threat is highly dependent on him being able to be a threat from deep.  Our D has be marginally better but its peak is not good enough to overcome off shooting nights.

Andrew White is 6 for his last 26 from deep.
John Gillon is 5 for his last 20. (and almost all his makes were end of game desperation time)
Tyler Lydon is 4 for his last 16.
Tyus Battle is 4 for his last 18.

I believe all of these guys were shooting over or about 40% after the winning streak..

Meanwhile Frank is 4 for his last 9.   Go figure.   This team generally wins when they shoot well.  If they don't shoot well they don't have the defense to overcome that.  That doesn't bode well for deep ACC or NCAA tournament runs (even if we somehow sneak in), but we can beat anyone when we multiple guys get hot.
