It's more than just making shots. Some days you make them, some days you don't. The constant for all great teams is defense, something we haven't done to well as of late. They made shots and we didn't is the easy way excuse of why we've lost games. The Tigers better damn well start playing some serious defense or next week will be the end of our season....GO TIGERS!!!!

I think a big problem with our percentage is that we don't shoot from 12 - 18 feet. It seems it's either a 3 or a driving floater / layup. Austin and Shaq have taken a few lately, but it seems the first time they miss, they're reluctant to take another one. I would rather have them go 0 for 30 from 15 feet than it be 4 of 20 from 3 pt land.

Sure, you've got to take 3's to make 3's and even if you start out 0-5, you can't simply give up, but far too often, we'll be at 3-13 and are trailing because we're wasting possessions jacking up 3's instead of shooting higher percentage shots. Part of that is because we don't have a true small forward on the floor.

One of the most crappy problems we have is to lose IQ on shot selection right after we make a 3. In the UConn game, Chris hit a wide open 3. Nice shot. On the next possession, he then followed it up with a 3 point shot that was well contested and about 5 feet beyond the arc with 25 seconds or so left on the shot clock. Of course, that shot bounced wildly off the rim, and led to an easy transition bucket for UConn.

Those plays are the ones where, in the stats, it appears that we suck at defense.

You can take the kid out of AAU, but sometimes it's hard to take the AAU out of the kid. And it kills us at times.
