I think composite leather..... I'm all for chucking the pigskin and launching 3's. But when that is all you do, it is easy to gameplan for as a defense and take away. I will put my life savings on it that all Oral Roberts is talking about in film and practice today is that they need to take away the 3 and it won't even be a competition. UND needs to find a way to get more easy buckets to go along with the 3's. Hence up the tempo and get more easy points in transition.

SiouxFan100 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I was concerned with shooting so many threes that we wouldn’t get free throws - but we did - 16 of them. Fouls were about even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans8891 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Obviously shooting from the outside was incredible and probably not repeatable. We were shooting almost all 3’s at a clip of 70 percent in the first half for a while. The difference was better and faster ball movement than we have had all year and keeping more than one shooter on the floor. Not surprisingly having better looks increased our shooting percentage. It is obvious teams give brooks and Trent 10 feet of space and dare them to shoot. Putting Norman and trey on the floor at the same time has been long missing for this team. Hoping that continues going forward. I still can’t figure out the Sueker issue. We have had games where we struggle to get 50 points in a game total and Mitchell, who can score, gets 3 minutes of playing time. Besides back to the basket, Mitchell has abilities T and Matthew’s just don’t have… and a good basketball IQ…. Not saying Sueker is the answer to everything either but I can’t believe that anyone thinks T and Matthew’s give us a dominant inside scoring presence…. Gotta Credit T for his 3 shooting tonight though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the time if he gets a touch the ball is dead to the rest of the team at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
