See 1981Grad... now you are stating facts and addressing actual issues (backed by real numbers). We don't like to do that with our basketball program. We prefer to close our eyes, drink cool aid, and talk about the sweet 16.

I'm still thinking "poutine" for the U@B tailgate

No..he forgot to mention us joining the ACC

This will make an appearance at the U@B Poutine Tailgate:

I would like to share the enthusiasm about our team and I am hopeful that everyone is right. But we had a couple of weaknesses last year that need to be addressed before this team can move forward. Last year this team was 2nd in the nation in 3 point attempts and 127th in 3 point percentage. Everyone on this team like to shoot the 3 ball. (Pat excluded) This team lacked guys who could drive to the basket and could create their own shot. Early in the season we often struggled at the end of games because we did not have a go to guy. Our forwards this year, Jake, Reggie, and Kwan, are mainly 3 point shooters. I am curious this year if Kwan has gotten stronger and developed an inside game and learned to get to the basket. His development will be a key for next year. Deji was our best guy getting to the basket and he is gone. When we struggle from the 3 line we were not very good. Last year we also struggled getting to the free throw line. We ranked 296th out of 356 in free throws attempted. In other words we sucked at getting to the foul line. Deji was our best guy getting to the line followed by Pat and Big Dog. These 3 players took over half of our foul shots. And when we did get to the line, we did not shoot our foul shots well and ranked 258th in the nation in foul shot percentage. We need to get to the line more and shoot better from the line. And remember, these stats include a very weak schedule at the beginning of the season. I am curious to see if this team will be more balanced. Looking forward to watching the team this year.

BG 28 Buffalo 22 That score gives me confidence that the Zips can beat BG.
