RE: vs. Elon - CAA GAME 2
Free throws keeping us in the game
How is a team full of guards so bad at 3s. Even the wide open ones are being missed

Same question we asked to start the year. Whatever the reason, we only hit when we are driving and kicking out to a set shooter. Seems like we have forgotten that we are an "inside/out team".
In our last three games we attempted 10, 16 and 14 three pointers. We've already attempted 10 against Elon with three minutes left in the first half.

Phillips on the bench with fouls has definitely hurt our ability to get in the paint.

Agreed
Coming off a COVID layoff definitely not ideal having him miss this half

RE: vs. Elon - CAA GAME 2
Major props to this team and free throw shooting. Made all of its first 10 free throws and just missed the 1st one with under 1 minute to go

It's hard to believe we aren't getting blown out with this type of offense. 13 of our 26 shots from three. That's a proven losing strategy for this team. I expect we will see a lot less three point attempts in the second half.

RE: vs. Elon - CAA GAME 2
Hitting our FT's, rebounding and limiting them from three are the only bright spots in the first half. I expect to see a big dose of Phillips, Sims and Okauru on the court togther and driving to the bucket in the second half.

Those 10 free throws are why we are still in this game

RE: vs. Elon - CAA GAME 2
Still haven't seen UNCW put on a serious full court, trapping press this year. We seem to pick up full court just to run clock instead of getting TO's. Wonder why?

That was going to be my next post. Really feel like we miss some easy ops to trap and create turnovers especially when playing from behind. Not a fan of the “token” press unless you mix it up

This team isn't going to rollover. Elon with a couple crap 3s that last stretch and yet the Hawks respond with a 7-0 run

Hawks with 8 FG attempts in the second half and only ONE attempt from three. We go 5-8 from the field, with three assists and cut the lead to 3.

Elon goes zone, we jack up three's, miss both, and they get long rebounds to get up the court before our defense is set and the lead is back to seven.

And then out of the Elon Timeout our first shot was a 3. Back to a 7 point Elon lead
