SMU's Lack of 3-PointersLast year, SMU finished 320th out of 345 D1 schools in Three Point Field Goals Made per Game, averaging 4.7 per contest. We've made 11 after 2 games this season. With shooters like Keith, Nic and Ben E, we need to be attempting way more 3 Point shots. I'm calling Larry out for not making an offensive adjustment this off-season.
I miss Troy Matthews.
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersWe couldn't make layups.
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointers
I think SMU was very low in 3 point attempts per game as well. I know that our offense runs through the low post first if possible and then back out. I don't think the 3 pointer shots are incorporated that much into our offense. "We will play man to man and we will pick you up at the airport." - Larry Brown

Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersWe suffer much more from the lack of defending against the 3 than we do in the lack of making the 3.
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointersvery true
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointers
Seems both are about equal so far. The stats don't lie though. I don't think LB is a fan of the 3 point shoot. "We will play man to man and we will pick you up at the airport." - Larry Brown

Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersI agree. Especially since he said he prefers the 2 pointers.

Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointers
esp mid range 2s ughhhhhhhhhh. most inefficient shot in bball "smupony94: Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities."
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointers
Maybe Harry can pull up last year's 3 point defensive stats and rankings.
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-Pointers
Will post while I eat lunch. At first glance it's okay. Opponents shot 32% from 3 against us last year (#61 in nation) vs. 34% this year. "smupony94: Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities."
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersI was suspecting that our 3 point attempts to go up this year with JMart and BenE (and a more confident KF?) but that hasn't been the case as of yet. I agree that our perimeter D is a bigger concern and that definitely will kill us this year (it might tonight). Last year, I blame that lack of D directly on the losses to Arky, UVA, and MN. (damn near cost us the same against Cal also). If we don't lock that down, I worry it will keep us out of the tourney again. I'd like to see Nic take about 6-7 per game depending and the rest of the team take about 10 total depending. Do that and a much stronger perimeter D and we beat Indy and quite a few other resume building games.
Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersPay attention to our Bigs and our wing players when they drive, they throw horrible passes to our perimeter shooters who are open for threes. As a result, the shooters barely catch the pass and by then the defense has recovered and the shooter is out of position to shoot the wide-open three. I've noticed this both in the Lamar game and versus Gonzaga. Ball movement is definitely an area in which we need to improve immediately!

Re: SMU's Lack of 3-PointersIt's hard for any team to lock down a good 3 point shooting team. You need to make a few yourself to counter things a bit. If you are making 2's and they are making some 3's it may not turn out to well. Larry Brown seems to like and one 3 point plays but who do we have that can get to the rack consistently?
