Judging from our first four games, I'd say that included some people wearing Tiger uniforms.

At this point, that's probably an opinion shared by several for the aforementioned group.

This is my pet peeve ... "I could shoot 11%" or "I could get 2 rebounds" or whatever.

First, you (you in general, not JUST you Niedermayer) suck. So, YOU, are not good enough to see the floor to deserve the attempt at 11% or 2 rebounds, or whatever the assertion.

Second, even if you did get the attempt, you couldn't shoot 11%, or get 2 rebounds, or whatever. This is HIGH LEVEL college basketball, this isn't a church league, people are busting their asses out there to make sure that you don't get an open look, or grab a rebound. I used to be a pretty good shooter back in the day, but I was also pretty slow. On the few occasions I played against really great competition, I got dominated, and I had trouble getting any shot, much less an open 3.

So, no, you could not shoot 11%.

It is completely different watching a game from courtside than from way up high, or even on TV. I think if most of the folks around this forum had more of an opportunity to actually see the effort (close up) involved in playing college basketball they wouldn't be so quick to criticize the players.

I don't think Adonis should ever shoot another 3

I know it sounds ridiculous that a "future lottery pick" could be shooting 11% from 3 but it's a fact.

It's all about shot selection. Adonis hasn't figured it out yet.

I was lucky enough to see the game the Tigers played against UALR in then Alltel Arena here in Little Rock. I sat in the second row behind the Tigers bench. The speed and size of the players in that game ON BOTH SIDES was awe inspiring......I could not believehow fast the college game has become, you just cannot tell on TV or from up high.

pfftttt.....Neidermeyer could knock down 3's all day.

I'm for Adonis and Geron displaying their entire repertoire... making 3's makes driving the ball much easier. Shoot the rock young lads!!!

I guarantee you that I could hit some 3's and shoot better than 11% against the Tiger defense I have seen so far this year..And this ain't no joke it's a fact..This is purely based on what I've seen so far..If our defense plays better D in future games then my opinion might change!!

Nah, I couldn't knock em down all day or even shoot a high percentage. But I could dam sure shoot 11% like our "future lottery pick" is doing. FACT.

lol

Getting back to the real world, if the Tigers play D like they have been and Ohio shoots close to there % from the arc, it could be ugly..Unless our D picks it up they will have open looks all night..

I'll dunk on everyone here.

What's embarrassing is you trying to say 18 3 point attempts isn't a big enough of a sample size to tell you anything.

YOU GIVE ME 18 ATTEMPTS AND I WILL KNOCK DOWN AT LEAST 7.....FACT.

Not in a game-time situation, brah. Lot's of your jump shots sent into the 5th row.

This will not be a blowout either way...book it.

Should we win, only Gonzaga in 2010-2011 and Belmont in 2011-2012 will be better wins (statistically, according to kenpom).
