Official: AAC Tournament Thread - SMU vs. UCONN (The Ship)

[PonySnob]

Has Larry considered a three point defense of some kind?

Was the 3 point shot in college basketball at Larry's last college job?

So many red flags heading into the NCAA tournament. Opposing coaches will have a field day preparing for this perimeter defense.

I hate conference tournaments...

holy crap, second game in a row we run into a hot 3-shooting team - any other day and this would be a blowout

Seems like every team has a great 3 point day against us.

Spot the weakness and adjust, damn it. Some of you justify this by saying teams don't overall shoot a significantly higher percentage against us, so it all evens out...no,when you are giving up so many attempts and trade 3 for every 2 points of ours, if you shoot anywhere near our FG percentage, you are in it or win it, as long as you limit your fouls (or the refs let fouls go). It's not them (Purvis, Tyson, Williams, etc.), it's us.

Are you forgetting about UConn's 60% shooting day?

Last three games have been crazy lucky for the other team.

Exactly... It can't be a coincidence.

A lot of these 'after bye' games are tight. Bucky only up 5 against big blue and Florida giving Kentucky all they can handle. [deleted] happens.

Get the W and move on.

[Mustangs35SMU]

This is just unreal.

15 threes against.

61-60 Ponies.

[blackoutpony]

This is even more frustrating than Houston last year. If we choke, I'm going to have to leave work for fear of screaming at someone who ask me for my TPS cover sheet

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

I would say this is unbelievable but it's totally believable.

[Mustangs35SMU]

45 of their 60 points have come from three point land.

[StallionsModelT]

Worst perimeter defense among any of the NCAA tournament teams. Hands down. No question.

[ojaipony]

Damn, not used to seeing Nic "miss all these 3s". We have to just keep driving.

[b_caesar]

We got to 60 first. There's hope.
