must hit at least 6 or 7 three pointers. If we don't, i'm afraid that it won't even be close.

I think if we start jacking up three pointers, we will get blown out. Our inside players (Courtney, Will, Marlo) are shooting a good percentage. Our outside shooters are not. I do have hope that Dillard may end up being a high percentage shooter.

Well, we certainly can't jack them up, but I think we will have to make a few. Someone - anyone.

Why do you think shooting three point shots is jacking it up? Many great teams shoot a lot of three point shots, but they work to get a three point shooter open. If a guy just dribbles down and shoots a three, yes, that's jacking it up. If the offense creates a good three point shot, that's effective offense. But you still have to have a shooter that can shoot the three pointer when he's open.

I believe you have to stop weems and we don't have anyone that can stop him. Wn will be able to stop this kind of post up g/f but he is a year away from doing it.

Seems to me it's not our 3 point shooting that usually kills us, but our lack of 3 point defense. Players regularly seem to have career 3 point shooting nights against us. I really don't have the stats to back that up, but it often seems that way sitting in the stands.

You are correct, but right now we do not have either.
