RE: Why doesn't the basketball team warm up? Root of the problem?

One thing I have noticed in just about every game is the other team takes the entire pregame period warming up and finding their shooting rhythm. Last night before the game, and my son and I were there an hour before tip off, MTSU came out shooting brick after brick and even missing dunks and steadily improved until they were loose and hitting everything before tip off. ODU was in the locker room almost the entire time and only came out about 5 minutes before the national anthem and ran a couple of useless drills.
I don't know if there is anything to this theory, but would we be better off out there finding our shots and loosening up than in the locker room? Could this partially explain our notoriously slow starts and overall poor outside shooting?
I dont know the answer to your question but my guess is they warm up in the practice facility since it is right behind the Ted.
Maybe, but IMO that would be dumb not to orient themselves with the rims and the site lines and the crowd noise in the arena where the game itself is being played.
