That is what it's all about.

Mintz didn't score a point in the second half and still ended up hitting three point shots! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

With just 6 of those shots going in we could have had a pretty decent shooting % of 50%.

Just look at the easy shots we have missed from layups to 2 foot shots. If we had made just 5 of those easy ones in each of our 21 games that would be 105 more shots made on the same number of shots taken for a shooting % of exactly 50%. This would put us in 12th place right behind Michigan and we would probably be at least 14-7 overall now and be headed for the NCAA tourney. What should this team practice on? I would say more concentration on making the easy, close up shots. After all the early season bad shooting percentages we had I think you can blame it just as much on the easy misses as the long range misses. That's a shame the coaches haven't mentioned that or maybe even thought of it. It's easy to blame a loss on your 3 point % but it takes a real coach to realize where he could have changed half his losses into wins by making these kids think about the easy ones they have missed.

Yeah, a few were wide-open misses, but most of them you can see our player's body moving in an unnatural direction. Not an excuse, but it may be both a matter of focus AND strength. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13622 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged Bama Cat Player Member # 153 posted 02-22-2021 05:00 PM                     Agree.

Over the last three games our opponent has blocked 16 shots. We've had our shot blocked 80 times this season. Posts: 10343 | From: Erlanger, Ky.
