Before everyone panics, take a good look at the number of attempts and percentages of both the 3s and 2s of both teams. Nevada isn’t built around shooting the 3, so when they take it, it’s in rhythm, it’s with guys in a position to rebound, so it’s a pretty good feeling shot to take. Currently, we lean on it extremely hard, so much so, we didn’t see much of a plan B when those deep shots weren’t falling. Our guys just need to take a look at the film, see those spots they could have looked for the easier shot, and just take it.
On nights we are on fire from 3, we can play like we did today and win. When we aren’t hot, some pretty simple adjustments will still allow us to win our share of games. No panic. All it takes is a little adjustment by Fred.
And those adjustments were not forthcoming from Fred today. Nevada in foul trouble and the refs calling it if you looked at a guy. So we don’t drive the ball and just heave 3s on tired legs. A lot of guys wanted there’s. Not a good look at all. Nevada played poorly and we let them get out with a W on our floor.
