we've been knocking around pretty well question about rebounding (both O and D), about minutes players are playing, about our team defense the last three minutes of the Oregon game. But thinking about it, what are the odds we will wind up shooting 52.2% from three point range again tomorrow when we play Arizona?
There's been lost of discussion about we should have beaten Oregon by 10, by 20. Okay. But that's shooting 52% from outside the arc. On the season we're shooting about 33% now iirc. That's UP after recent games.
In that regard, I think we got lucky last Saturday. We have a bunch of guys who have shot 38-45% from three point range. But they haven't done that while adhering to Mick Cronin's standards, play8ing Mick Cronin defense. We do know these guys can shoot the ball. They have it in them.But - like Mara and Kyle in the middle - I still have to see it to really believe in it. 36% sure - maybe 38%. Occasionally 42 or 44%. But 52% on our season to date was a serious outlier.
Let's hope it continues but I worry that doing it against Oregon covered up a number of flaws that have not been overcome as yet, Keeps me from getting overly confident as we play even an AZ team that's just 4-4 this season to this point (against a tough schedule).
