In fairness, anyone with a pulse that could shoot went off against us. The dude had 9 threes! But, i do agree he was a solid contributor to that team.

I feel ya hoops and it's never good to let someone see a "big" rim, but homey went off. In the 2nd half he was hitting on Ty and Ty will stick to somebody pretty good but he was just hitting big shots at that point. I totally agree that you have to get into a shooter and get him uncomfortable early. Once a player feels it, it's over, especially that guy that night. It was terrible to watch us go down at home. You never like to lose a CAA game at home if you actually have a following (like he Hawks) and a history of being good in the CAA.

Yeh, in that particular instance, he was hitting from well beyond the 3 point line. I understand we did a terrible job defending the 3 last season, but he was unconscious that night. Pretty much anything he threw up went in.

He pushed off on his defender several times that night to create space. But hey if the the refs aren’t going to call it, why stop? Not to discredit his game that night, because he was unconscious however he won’t be able to create space like that when he gets to a Power 5 school.

Yep, part of the officiating changes made two years ago was an emphasis on offensive push offs. Especially on drives to the basket. But it hasn't happened. And some coaches are actually teaching their players to get away with just that.
