We allowed them to shoot 60% from three, we run a play for a mediocre PF at the end of the game and that same Ivy Leaguer doesn’t foul his man when it is absolutely needed.
I hate how poorly this team is constructed.

Not sure you’re ready for the answers you are about to receive.

I am so sick of watching other teams hit open threes while we brick open threes.

Truly, one of the great unanswerable questions of the universe.

I agree with what you are saying but there was one helluva difference between there WIDE OPEN threes (they even had time to set their feet) and our constantly contested threes. We can totally agree that EVERY team shoots their best three point game of the year against us.

I was ready, but it isn't like it usually is tonight with everyone jumping down JB's throat. Oh wait, there's one about "did I check with JB and his sons" great, keep it up. The more sarcasm the better - get it all out.

THIS was, IMO, the best post in this thread.

Thank you. It was my last hurrah before the exhaustion overcame me and I fell to the horrid disease of dysentery while forging a river upon a trail in the Pacific Northwest.

Agreed.
Then there's the connection about them playing man vs. our zone. Each time the team we play I watch to see our player, whoever it is, when the ball is passed to the open guy in the corner get to him and try and either block the shot a la Hakim Warrick or distract him in some way so the shot is off.
Did it today between my screams of "GET OVER THERE!!!" but in most cases the ball goes in.
And they, as the reply states, are all over us contesting our threes so BB or Joe has a millisecond to get a shot off if that.
And why didn't Joe take more attempts at three's from way out like he usually does? Just wasn't feeling it today I guess.

Partially agree. We do give up unbelievably open looks but our guys miss so many that are not that contested on a consistent basis. It’s sad that I expect us to miss and the opponent to make.

It’s as bad as it gets.
51% of shot attempts against us are 3s, that’s second highest in the country. And, we allow our opponents to shoot 34.5% from 3 (D1 average is 33.4%).
So a ton of 3s are taken against us combined with the fact they’re being mad at an above average clip.
