I'm concered about the team's shooting. Q has been strong, obviously, with 28 points in each game.
But as a team, we/re shooting .161 from 3-point range? That's inexcusable. Our "best" long-range shooter so far is Brian Miller, who's hit a scalding 2-of-7 (.286) shots from long range. Q's the only other guy who's hit more than one 3 in the first two games - he's 2-for-10. I know it's early and that things will even themselves out, but that's not good.
And the free-throw shooting continues to plague the team. For the last two years, Dement has called Kris Lowe our best free throw shooter - he's 3-for-6. That's very discouraging. Patrick Simpson is 1-for-3. They haven't had many attempts, and with a couple of successful trips to the line, those percentages will jump back up.
But we're going to have a hard time beating people if we don't hit more free throws and make at least a few 3's every now and then.
Rise up, Mustang Nation!
Go SMU!
