Gotta shoot, guys!
Free throw percentage through two games: 62%. (To crack the Top 100 in D1, that number has to be 75%.)
Three-point percentage through two games: 31.8%. (Would love to see that number at 40%, which would put us among the top 80 teams in the country, but it must be above 35%.)
You're going to give up a lot of points to a lot of opponents if you can't shoot treys and free throws better than we are right now.
Maybe this is why DeCuire is stressing defense so much. And our perimeter defense against Pitt was outstanding. Interior defense? Needs work. We don't really have a rim protector yet--though Kramer and Nicholas both will be eventually. Our overall field goal percentage defense is 42%; would love to see that below 40.
Basketball is a simple game: Ball. Basket. Put ball in basket. Keep opponent from doing same.
Can't wait for tonight. If you live in the Bay Area, the Comcast channel is 403.
