It’s both. Our M.O. is dependent on success from 3PT, which will be subject to random variability (I.e. “luck). But the way we played Saturday we made a lot of our own luck with good passing and solid overall play.

We’ve had three solid wins against good teams this year, the first two were in November so it’s nice to finally get a third. In between there were just too many close calls and bad losses.

@UAB coming up is not a must-win* but it is a must-show (IMO). We need to show ourselves that we can be competitive on the road against a mid-pack CUSA squad.

If we do win at UAB then we can start talking like this team has a chance to make a 4-0 run in Frisco. But right now, even though I think we can beat anybody in one game, I don’t really like our chances to get hot in the tourney. Too dependent on the 3 for that to be realistic.

I do like the style, though, and with a little more experience that style can work well once we’re playing stronger than our competition.
