Call me crazy but it feels like we are trending downward.

Am I wrong?

We have exceeded our current average in 5 of our last 10 games. Super interesting--it alternates every game. Under 42 percent last game, over the one before that. Under before that, then over, and so on going back 10 games.

We are 39.4% over the last 10 and 44.2% before that.

39.4% would still put us in the top 10 nationally.

I'm of the belief that if you're shooting about 37 or 38% or over from 3, it's not possible to shoot too many threes.

Zee, Ashworth, and Shulga have been in a slump for some games too.

No I agree as far as the math goes. RJER are good 3’s and bad 3’s. What happens when you shoot so many 3’s effectively? The defense adjusts and overplays which causes a lower %. So I think we keep shooting but there are points where we need to throw it in to Akin or to drive and attack the paint. Once defense adjusts then start kicking it out again for good 3 attempts.

The graph looks good though. We do it effectively.. … .. until we don’t.
