6-22 for the dynamic duo.
In big 10 play Talley is shooting 31% and 23% from 3. Putting up 14 shots a game to average 12.
Gallegos is shooting 31% and 21% from three. He's shooting nearly 10 3s a game hitting 2.
I understand NU is offensively challenged. And by appearance these two LOOK to have the skills of actual basketball players. They run and jump and move like basketball players. But they shoot like sumo wrestlers. Gallegos needs to simply be forbidden from shooting threes for a while. 16 in one game and 15 in another for a guy who can't hit the shot...
Bottom line is that there is nobody else even capable of taking shots. Tonight, everyone other than Shields was stone cold and Shields drew a crowd after a while. And a lot of his points came on the offensive glass anyway.
Somebody has got to shoot. Or we punt a lot.
Meanwhile, our Freshman PG is a shrinking violet and Talley has to handle PG duties which stretches him even farther. It is a rough go. Quite frankly, I am all for anybody taking an open shot . . . hot, cold, or otherwise. There simply aren't any options.
